Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another's rights; allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one's life; being a coward. We will love our enemies, but not make alliances with them. They were placed in our path in order to test our sword, and we should, out of respect for them, struggle against them. We will choose our enemies.
Paulo CoelhoThe present moment, though, is outside of time, itโs Eternity. In India they use the word โkarmaโ for lack of any better term. But itโs a concept thatโs rarely given a proper explanation. It isnโt what you did in the past that will affect the present. Itโs what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo CoelhoThe best way to live a miserable life is to pay attention to what other people are saying about you.
Paulo CoelhoTo the warriors of light, there is no such thing as impossible love. They donโt allow themselves to be intimidated by silence, or by rejection. They know that โ behind the icy mask people wear โ there is a heart of fire. That is why the warriors risk more than others. They tirelessly seek love โ even if this means hearing, many times over, the word โnoโ, returning home defeated, feeling rejected in body and soul. Warriors donโt allow themselves to be discouraged. Without love, live has no meaning.
