A Quote for the Day

A heart that loves purely, when corrupted by selfishness and perversion, will find it difficult, even almost impossible, to recapture that pure love. The heart needs to go through that moment of letting go, the pain of fiery grace, a conversion of soul, before it can be restored to that state where it is ready to love purely again.

Only the heart that is pure and free of attachment to the glories and materials of this world can have the eyes to see beyond the trappings of this world. Grace clears the eyes of the person whose heart is prepared to receive grace. That is why even the most intelligent persons will not see the errors of their ways, having been blinded by pride and selfishness. Only the humble heart sees what no one else can see.

Only the heart that knows the deepest of sorrows can truly experience the deepest of joys. Surface happiness makes the heart grow shallow.

From life's sorrows and despair, only love can rescue us. Happy Valentine's Day! May love so overrule today that no sorrow or despair can even touch your heart. 

People only see what their eyes can see, and  understand things from what they guess things mean. Only God knows what is in the heart of man.

Poverty as a scapegoat for committing crimes is overrated. That also discriminates the poor as being by situation the only potential criminals (everyone are potential criminals). Many sensational crimes involving fortunes to the tune of billions of dollars have been committed in corporate and government worlds by those who will not qualify to our common definition of poverty. If we want to point a finger to the cause of crime, that finger  must be directed to the heart of every man, where lies the unseen evil that ferments schemes to take other peoples' lives and properties against their will.

Distance makes the heart forget. No, it does not always make the heart grow fonder.
