Show Reason of Unhappiness. (From "The Things that Are Caesar's.") Shall I tell you the reason of all unhappiness? un-happiness? It is because we focus our hopes. We focus our telescopes upon one star, and that goes out and we are left in darkness. Though all the myriads of heaven blaze, they can blaze then not for us. Do not focus upon any one star to the exclusion of the rest. Sweep the whole heavens, and so, though a thousand stars will go out, there will still, for you, be delight in a hundred thousand. Be as I provident with your hopes as you are with your gold. The wise man distributes distrib-utes his savings among many banka. |
