Quiroga - 147

 YOUR REASON FOR BEING

Put your hand on your heart and answer the following questions honestly, what would you prefer?

The thrilling glory of beholding the destruction of your enemies? Or the bureaucratic serenity of negotiations with opponents to find a place for everyone and accommodate differences in the best possible way?

Don't rush to answer the first thing that comes to mind, because answering these questions honestly means not trying to formulate your arguments to suit what would please certain people who serve as your reference and with whom you identify. ( even if this previous statement offends you in some way, because obviously you would never do that).

It's not about answering these questions to belong to this or that group, but about seeking realistic answers in your real and visceral functioning, in what you would be and do if you could act anonymously, without anyone censoring or applauding your choices.

When you are able to have that level of sincerity with your own soul, you will know how to measure how much anger or love is your reason for being, because if you don't have that sincerity with your own soul, if you can't see your presence with that level of realism, then you will never know the true reason for relating to who you relate to, much less the true reason for everything you do and don't do.
