They say, too, in ancient scriptures: - “wisdom can only be obtained from the viewpoint of solitude” (…) No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. – Learning, for instance, to eat when he’s hungry and sleep when he’s sleepy. — Alone on a Mountaintop (The lonesome traveler), Jack Kerouac (via excentriciteconcentrique)

Deep down, we all have this desire to be heard, to be taken seriously, to be given importance - to feel special. However, how many of us actually listen to others, take others seriously, give others importance and make them feel special? — Me (via umeed-faith)

*FUR COATS & FURNACES”

“Have you ever heard of the ‘Saint in a Fur Coat’?

He sits in his house by a fireplace full of wood. But there is no fire. The house, and everyone in it are shivering from the cold. All except for him. He dons a fur coat and he is warm.

So we ask him, “Why do you warm only yourself? Why not kindle the wood in your fireplace and warm others as well?”

He answers, “It is not just this house. The entire world is struck with a bitter, cold wind. Do you expect me to warm up an entire world?”

So we tell him that he does not have to warm up the entire world. But perhaps he could warm up one other individual. Perhaps two. Perhaps he could warm up one little corner of the world.

“For a person such as I,” he replies, “it is not fitting to warm up only one corner.”

And so there he sits, in his cold, dark house,
all comfy in his fur coat.”
