Evil, in this system of ethics, is that which tears apart, shuts out the other person, raises barriers, sets people against each other.

Apathy adds up, in the long run, to cowardice.

It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.

Courage is not a virtue of value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues and personal values. Without courage our love pales into mere dependency. Without courage our fidelity becomes conformism.

Inner sense of worth that comes with being in love does not seem to depend essentially on whether the love is returned or not.

In any age courage is the simple virtue needed for a human being to traverse the rocky road from infancy to maturity of personality. But in an age of anxiety, an age of herd morality and personal isolation, courage is a sine qua non. In periods when the mores of the society were more consistent guides, the individual was more firmly cushioned in his crises of development; but in times of transition like ours, the individual is thrown on his own at an earlier age and for a longer period.

There is an energy field between humans. And, when we reach out in passion, it is met with an answering passion and changes the relationship forever.
