Can you love or guide someone without any kind of expectation?
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.

Truly, only acting without thought of one's life is superior to valuing one's life.
As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go; hopeless, we are lost forever.
When much virtue is achieved, nothing is not overcome.
