Lessons Learned From Algebra
When we were
children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...
To be alive is to be vulnerable.”
~Madeleine L'Engle
(Vulnerability is defined as the
susceptibility to physical or emotional injury or attack. It also means to have one's guard down, to be open to censure
or criticism.)
The miracle is not to walk on burning charcoal or in the thin air or on the water, the miracle
is just to walk on earth. You breathe in. You become aware of the fact that you are alive. You are still
alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. The greatest of all miracles is to be alive.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
