More From Paulo Coelho

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

All good things require effort. that which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (matt. 7:7.) but you have to seek, you have to knock. on the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. it walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. you do not have to put forth effort. … evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. but truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

Adventure is important in life. making memories matters. it doesn’t have to be a secret sea plane and an historic sports moment. but to have a great life, you need great memories. grab any intriguing offer. say yes to a challenge, and to the unknown. be creative in adding drama and scope to your own life. work at it, like a job. money from effort comes and goes. but effort from imagination and following adventure creates stories that you keep forever. and anyone can do it.
