Quote by Paulo Coelho

Å½mogus silpnas, tod?l visada bando nuo sav?s nusl?pti didÅ¾i?j? Mirties ties?. Jis nesuvokia, jog tiktai ji skatina gyvenime atlikti pa?ius didÅ¾iausius darbus. Å½mogus bijo nuklysti ? tams?, j? siaubingai g?sdina neÅ¾inomyb?, ir t? baim? ?manoma ?veikti tik nepamirÅ¡tant, kad jo dienos suskai?iuotos. Å½mogus nesupranta, jog, susitaik?s su Mirtimi, sugeb?t? ryÅ¾tis didesniems darbams, pasiekti nepalyginamai didesni? pergali? savo kasdien?je kovoje, nes neturi ko prarasti - Mirtis neiÅ¡vengiama.

Å½mogus silpnas, tod?l visada bando nuo sav?s nusl?pti didÅ¾

Summary

This quote suggests that humans are weak and always try to hide from their ultimate fate, which is death. They fail to realize that death is what motivates them to accomplish great things in life. People fear venturing into darkness and are terrified by the unknown, but this fear can only be overcome by embracing the fact that their days are numbered. The quote implies that by accepting death, one can have the courage to pursue greater endeavors and achieve incomparable victories in their daily battles because they have nothing to lose - death is inevitable.

When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard. I have deeply appreciated the times that I have experienced this sensitive, empathic, concentrated listening.
