[at-l] Taking care of business



Good passage - it gets to the heart of the matter.
I printed it out, for when I forget that "abandon 
altogether the search for security" part...

>It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few
who
>have the enlightenment or courage to pay the price.  One has to
abandon 
>altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of
living with 
>both arms.  One has to embrace the world as a lover!  One has to
accept 
>pain as a condition of existence.  One has to court >doubt and
darkness as 
>the cost of knowing.  One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but
apt always 
>to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying.
