"This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return... One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spoke Zarathustra
I absolutely love that. Imagine a life in which we seek to GIVE joy. A life in which we enter relationships to GIVE joy. A life in which we work to GIVE joy.
Can you even imagine how much we would ENjoy that?!!? Stunning...
To giving full expression to the highest within us!!
"It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely." ~ Leo Buscaglia
