Passion

"Life moves on, whether we act like cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it,than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to,everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty,painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has vision to recognize it as such."
- Henry Miller

Maybe the reason we go through painful times, is not for a thicker shell, or a better resistance to chaos, but rather that we may become a more understanding, wise and gentle person.

What moments can become golden in your life?
