“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlyn, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world around you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you.”

Very nice quote, Erica. I often find myself worrying at the state the word is in. Knowing fear is not my friend, I try to focus on what is good in the world and what I can do to add to the good. Reading your posts helps to ground me so I can focus and continue with carrying out those good things! Thank you!
