At Easter I often receive a number of gifts. This year I received the sentence above. Far and away the greatest psychologist is Alfred Adler. He identified courage as the hallmark of human mental / spiritual health and defined courage as - doing what needs to be done regardless of the likelihood of success. Hmmmm. This IS the way of life. No? Don't skin cells do this? Your heart? Your immune system? Your eyes...? Cats? Dogs? Birds? Bees? Amoeba?... This IS what Life does.
"If your life does not require great Courage, you are not aLive." Tragically, we humans have the capacity to fall away from Life, to run in fear and cowardice from "what needs to be done," and to merely EXIST, and thereby to become a cancerous malignancy on the body of Humanity. And the only cost to us personally, and to those we influence is our / their Joy, Life, Peace, and Universal Love. But hey, the pleasure and safety we receive as compensation more than makes up for this, right?
Happy Easter!
