Fear Not My Child (poem)
Fear not my child
Fear not.
Rid yourself of useless anxieties,
There is more that you can do at rest
than you can ever do fretting about.
Let everything that you do
be done out of love
pouring out of a peaceful heart.
It is not how many ideas
that run through your mind
that matters.
It is the way that you believe.
It is the way that you surrender
to everything that is good
which heaven is showering you
in every moment.
Fear not my child
Fear not.
There is no need for you to hurry
nor for your hands to tremble.
Time stops for love
and love alone.
And I want you to enter
the door that leads to forevermore.
Don’t do good things to be happy. Do good things because you’re already joyful! – itakeoffthemask.com
The Importance of One Person
If you can’t be just to one person, you can’t also be just to the rest. – itakeoffthemask
Morality, true morality is not like politics. It is not a morality of numbers where one could easily sacrifice a few for the good of all the others, for the good of the rest.
One soul is not just one person. One soul is a whole universe of significance in itself. You do not kill that soul so you can save other souls. The moment you are able to murder one soul, you can easily get rid of the rest.
On Hope – Inspirational Quote
Hope is not mere optimism. It is a certainty that joy shall happen, shall come, shall prevail. – itakeoffthemask.com
