Life has been very hard on me, but, at the same time, it has taught me a great deal. - Paulo Coelho

In a desperate attempt to give meaning to life, many turn to religion, because a struggle in the name of a faith is always a justification for some grand action, which could transform the world. ‘We are doing God’s work,’ they tell themselves. And they become devout followers, then evangelists, and finally, fanatics. They don’t understand that religion was created in order to share the mystery and to worship, not to oppress or convert others.

"Why is patience so important?"
"Because it makes us pay attention."

I don’t believe in God as you imagine Him to be, but I believe in many things that you could never even dream of.
