Do not despise your situation; in it you must act, suffer, and conquer. From every point on earth we are equally near to heaven and to the infinite.
How, then, find the courage for action? By slipping a little into unconsciousness, spontaneity, instinct which holds one to the earth and dictates the relatively good and useful. By accepting the human condition more simply, and candidly, by dreading troubles less, calculating less, hoping more.
Unconsciousness, spontaneity, instinct ... hold us to the earth and dictate the relatively good and useful.
From every spot on earth we are equally near heaven and the infinite.
