There Were Losses
Based on experience, I can say that there were losses, both in my professional and personal life, which over time I realized they were ‘blessings.’ There and there they hurt, they burn and you can only see the negative side, but with a brief separation you start to think that it was lucky to have lost that occasion or that person. In the light of facts, situations that seem negative are often stepping stones for many more fulfilling and satisfying things.

In the end, Don Sebastiano wanted from his children and his grandchildren nothing but this: that they would study, and repeat his life up and down, and build theirs like he built his. The trouble is that he, like everyone else, did not know what his life was, which of the infinite germs he was locking in his breast, which he naturally ignored, would sprout in each of his children.

Don’t teach your children to adapt to society, to settle with what is, to compromise with what is in front of them; give them inner values with which they can change society and resist the diabolical project of globalization of all brains.
The world today needs rebels, spiritual rebels.
— Tiziano Terzani
