Quote by Paulo Coelho

But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.

But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced

Summary

This quote reflects the perspective that humans have become predominantly driven by fear, negating or suppressing the range of other emotions we possess. It suggests that fear has taken precedence in our lives, potentially overshadowing love, joy, and other positive emotions. The observation implies that our tendency to prioritize safety and security over self-expression or vulnerability has led to a significant shift in our emotional landscape.

Fact is Our Lord knew all about the power of money: He gave capitalism a tiny niche in His scheme of things, He gave it a chance, He even provided a first installment of funds. Can you beat that? It's so magnificent. God despises nothing. After all, if the deal had come off, Judas would probably have endowed sanatoriums, hospitals, public libraries or laboratories.
