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.
