In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die.

And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

You can choose to move on from a negative experience or spend forever thinking about the ‘what ifs’ and ‘whys’. It’s ultimately up to you to decide if said experience makes you a better person or not.

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, honest.

The Beautiful is what is well formed and aesthetically pleasing, whereas the Sublime is what has the power to compel and destroy us.

Something that is sublime destroys us by making us compete to the extremes for its radiance and perfection.

Anticipation
