Day 43. The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.” Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Fortunately, we humans can choose to move beyond this vertigo, by cultivating our courage and righteousness. Never underestimate your own potential for such strength. We are such stuff as stars are made of!!
