"What is to give light must endure burning."
~ Viktor Frankl from Man's Search for Meaning
How beautiful is that?
Give light.
Endure the burning.
…
Reminds me of Rumi's poem:
"Brother stand the pain
Escape the poison of your impulses.
The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do.
Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun.
Turn away from the cave of your sleeping.
That way a thorn expands to a rose.
A particular glows with the universal."

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.
~ Leo Buscaglia
