The
truth is that, no matter what kind of game you find yourself in, no
matter how good or bad the luck, you can change your life completely
with a single thought or a single act of love.
For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift
our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act.
Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that
flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of
another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day.
With love: the passionate search for a truth other than our own. With
longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate
keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on.
"Shantaram" by Gregory Roberts
