I believe the world is divided in three groups: givers, takers and the few that can balance both impulses. Giving and loving is a beautiful thing. It is the currency of compassion and kindness, it is what separates good people from the rest. And without it, the world would be a bleak place. If you are a giver, it is wise to define your boundaries because takers will take what you allow them to; all givers must learn to protect that about themselves or eventually, there is nothing left to give.
أعرف أنك في هذه الآونة تقعين أحيانا فريسة لخوفك من الحياة أكثر من خوفك من الموت. وأعلم أنك في سبيل الخلاص من هذه المعاناة تلجئين في الغالب أكثر فأكثر لخيالك. لكن مايغيب عنك أن خيالك الآن هو بصدد تدميرك. لا يجب أن تصيخي السمع لهذا الصوت المتردد في داخلك بمديح الموت وكأنه الحل الوحيد أمامك. عليك بشجاعة المقاومة بدل الاستسلام للهزيمة. فالموت ليس الحل الأنسب للخوف والمعاناة.
