Fear is a vile thing, and is at the bottom of almost every wrong and hatred of the world.
L.M. MontgomeryFigure out your passion. What floats your boat, rings your bell, lights your tree? A life without passion is possible, but not desirable. Have you really lived at all if you have not lived with passion? Without it would a masterpiece be possible? I don’t think so. With purpose, cause and passion, there is no way the end you envision will not become the reality you live.

Karma has been a pop culture term for ages. But really, what the heck is it?
Karma is not an inviolate engine of cosmic punishment. Rather, it is a neutral sequence of acts, results, and consequences.
Receiving misfortune does not necessarily indicate that one has committed evil. But it is a sufficient indicator of something else.
And that something else can be anything, as long as it is a logical consequence of what has come before.
Consider: if you fall into a well, you are not a bad person who deserves to suffer—you are merely someone who took a wrong step. Or someone who had one drink too many. Or got a head rush due to poor circulation. Or forgot to wear your glasses. Or—
The reasons are plentiful, and all plausible. But the chain of cause and effect goes way, way back into the deepest hoariest recesses of your personal past.
So never rule out retribution. But never expect it.

Μια αιτία για τη δημιουργία νεύρωσης μπορεί να βρεθεί στο γεγονός ότι το παιδί έχει μια μητέρα που το αγαπάει μεν αλλά είναι υπερβολικά επιεικής ή αυταρχική απέναντί του κι έναν πατέρα αδύνατο και αδιάφορο. Σ'αυτήν την περίπτωση το παιδί μπορεί να παραμείνει προσκολλημένο σε μαι πρώιμη μητρική πρόσδεση και να εξελιχθεί σε ένα άτομο που εξαρτάται από τη μητέρα, νιώθει αδύναμο και έχει τις χαρακτηριστικές τάσεις του ανθρώπου-αποδέκτη που έχει ανάγκη να παίρνει, να προστατεύεται, να φροντίζεται, και που του λείπουν οι πατρικές ιδιότητες -πειθαρχία, ανεξαρτησία, ικανότητα να κατακτήσει τη ζωή μόνος του.

Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved.
