Summary

This quote suggests that there are two different attitudes towards life's outcomes. The first type of person is willing to surrender to whatever God's plan is and accepts His will, trusting in a higher power. The second type of person, however, takes a more independent stance, insisting on having their own way and disregarding or challenging God's plan. This quote highlights the contrast between surrendering to a higher authority versus asserting personal desires and preferences.

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.
