"Chant one million times for world peace, they told me.
Pray three times a day to end all wars.
Practice austerities to liberate all living beings.
But the world's miseries have never diminished."
I think I have learned that God is not a solver but a presenter of problems. He's like the kind of teacher I want to be, who won't show you the answer but will help you see how to get to it. Earlier tonight my husband and I were talking about how doing the right thing is often simple, but never easy. It seems only natural that, along the way to the narrow gate, one would hit a few walls. The important thing is not to get discouraged, so one must always be careful that one's own vision for the future is clear and true.
