And now you have it.
“The facts of life are very simple. In the beginning we feared everything — animals, the weather, the trees, the night sky — everything except each other.
Now we fear each other, and almost nothing else. No-one knows why anyone does anything. No-one tells the truth. No-one is happy. No-one is safe.
In the face of all that is so wrong with the world, the very worst thing you can do is survive. And yet you must survive.
It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a God who cares about its fate.”
-Dider, Shantaram.
(I seriously can’t get enough of this book.)
