Rose

Posted by PJ under evil, good, love, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“Is it possible for the rose to say, “I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?” Or is it possible for the lamp to say, “I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people”? Or can a tree say, “I’ll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad”? These are images of what love is about.

—Anthony de Mello, “How Happiness Happens,” Awareness: The perils and opportunities of reality
