Our knowledge, if we all it to be transformed within us, turns into capacity for life-serving human deeds.*
M. C. Richards
And there it is again: the oldest problem, the deepest dream – the pain of separation, the desire for reunion.**
Susan Cain
With knowledge comes responsibility, and this, in turn,
Produces wisdom, which is shaded with selfless and generous
activeness;
This also means that it is bittersweet in nature,
A denying of ourselves in order to possess what we want most of all –
Our separation and reunion –
The fullness of life existing in the mission produced not through freedom from, but in
freedom to, as Viktor Frankl suggests:
Having such a task makes the person irreplaceable
and gives his life the value of uniqueness.^
