He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable. - Joseph Campbell

Our life evokes our character and you find out more about yourself as you go on.

When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.

Freud tells us to blame our parents for all the shortcomings of our life,
and Marx tells us to blame the upper class of our society.
But the only one to blame is oneself.
That's the helpful thing about the Indian idea of karma.
Your fate is the fruit of your own doing.
You have no one to blame but yourself.
