Alright you guys. This one is not funny, but it has always been a moving string of words to me. And right now, without betraying details, it is considerably more meaningful to me than ever before. Hope somebody appreciates it like I always have. It's too much to hope than anyone will appreciate it as much as I do right now in my life:

"It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment, or the courage, to pay the price…. One has to abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover, and yet demand no easy return of love. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying."
The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963).
