: Written by Morris L. West in the Shoes of the Fisherman,
: I stumbled into to this while reading and thought of the four board
: It costs so much to be a full
: human being that there are very
: few who have the enlightenment
: or the courage, to pay the price...
: One has to abandon altogether
: the search for security, and
: reach out to the risk of living
: with both arms. One has to
: embrace the world like a lover.
: One has to accept pain as a
: condition of existence. One has
: to court doubt and darkness
: as the cost of knowing. One
: needs a will stubborn in
: conflict, but apt always to
: total acceptance of every
: consequence of living and dying. : -----
: Will you help me? I will try to help you.
: ...from the book "Why am I afraid to tell you who I am?" God Sam - this is SOOOO speaking my language at the moment! It COSTS SO MUCH to KNOW!!!! I find myself toying with the mud at the bottom of the pit. To live with integrity carries such a cost. How I wish that I didn't know what I now know - life would be so much more uncomplicated....maybe Ev wa right - ignorance is bliss.......... I feel so pathetic I can't even stand myself at the moment.........
