Thomas Merton: Citáty v angličtine

“The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most.”

Thomas Merton kniha The Seven Storey Mountain

Kontext: Indeed, the truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers the most: and his suffering comes to him from things so little and so trivial that one can say that it is no longer objective at all. It is his own existence, his own being, that is at once the subject and the source of his pain, and his very existence and consciousness is his greatest torture.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image.”

Varianta: The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image.
