"Like the sharp edge of a razor, the sages say, is the path.
Narrow it is, and difficult to tread."

If you prepare yourself, you will be sufficiently 'calloused'. Jump in too fast, and you will learn the 'harder' way.

You need the balance of a feline!

The longest journey
Is the journey inwards
Of him who has chosen his destiny.

O Master grant that I make never seek
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of Your peace....

[from the Peace Prayer of St. Francis]

On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
[Friedrich Nietzsche]

Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth--in a word, to know himself--so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves (cf. Ex 33:18; Ps 27:8-9; 63:2-3; Jn 14:8; 1 Jn 3:2).

[From Pope John Paul II's blessing at the beginning of his encyclical, Fides et Ratio vatican.va/edocs/ENG0216/_INDEX.HTM [vatican.va/edocs/ENG0216/_INDEX.HTM]]

Don't criticize. But if you must criticize, at least keep it to self-criticism. [From The Little Red Book]

Two sins; Getting in the way of someone else's spirituality and getting in the way of your own.
