"It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that is entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation."

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
