Mikhail Bulgakov
- The Master and Margarita: 32 Forgiveness and Eternal Refuge
Oh gods! Yea gods of mine! How sad the earth at night. How strange the swamp mists. He knows it who has wandered astray in those mists, who has suffered greatly before dying, who has walked the earth carrying an unbearable burden. The weary one knows, and he leaves the earth's mists, swamps, and rivers without regret. He readily gives himself into the hands of death, knowing that it alone can bring him peace.

- Perspective
Your small place in the world is to perceive the positive in all that you must do. If you look at any action you will find that it's incentives equally contain the fear of loss and the desire for gain. Being compelled by negative emotion is the basis of all neurosis. Following the positive is the road to something great. Some call it self-actualization, amor fati, or individuation. What do you call it?
