Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other
discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life
unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away
from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the
end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,
and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for
him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
