There Are Only Two Races, The Decent

This Is The Core Of The Human Spirit ... If We Can Find Something To Live For - If We Can Find Some Meaning To Put At The Center Of Our Lives - Even The Worst Kind Of Suffering Becomes Bearable.

Don't Aim At Success — The More You Aim At It And Make It A Target, The More You Are Going To Miss It. For Success, Like Happiness, Cannot Be Pursued; It Must Ensue, And It Only Does So As The Unintended Side-effect Of One's Personal Dedication To A Cause Greater Than Oneself Or As The By-product Of One's Surrender To A Person Other Than Oneself. Happiness Must Happen, And The Same Holds For Success: You Have To Let It Happen By Not Caring About It. I Want You To Listen To What Your Conscience Commands You To Do And Go On To Carry It Out To The Best Of Your Knowledge. Then You Will Live To See That In The Long Run — In The Long Run, I Say — Success Will Follow You Precisely Because You Had Forgotten To Think Of It.

As Such, I Also Bear Witness To The Unexpected Extent To Which Man Is Capable Of Defying And Braving Even The Worst Conditions Conceivable.

The Quest For Meaning Is The Key To Mental Health And Human Flourishing

The Salvation Of Man Is Through Love And In Love.
