Quote by Joseph Campbell

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty and adapting to unexpected outcomes. It suggests that rigidly holding onto a predetermined plan can prevent us from discovering new possibilities and growth. By letting go of our attachments to specific outcomes and being open to the unknown, we become more receptive to the opportunities and experiences that arise naturally. It encourages us to accept that life often takes unexpected turns, and by doing so, we can find fulfillment in the alternative paths that unfold before us.

Again, I am surprised why people seek to eliminate lust and cling to love; as they wish to ignore happiness and cleave unto joy! Now, now, let's not sugar-coat things! Lust has a lot more to do with life and what is the good of life if you do not carry much lust inside of you at all times? And joy is a noble thing, but happiness though fleeting can be found every day and in every small little way!

I have watched them all day and they are the same men that we are. I believe that I could walk up to the mill and knock on the door and I would be welcome except that they have orders to challenge all travelers and ask to see their papers. It is only orders that come between us. Those men are not fascists. I call them so, but they are not. They are poor men as we are. They should never be fighting against us and I do not like to think of the killing.
