V.S. Naipaul Quotes
Man Doesn't Realize His Real Purpose On Earth So Long As He Rolls In Comforts. It Is Absolutely True That Adversity Teaches A Man A Bitter Lesson, Toughens His Fiber And Moulds His Character. In Other Words, An Altogether New Man Is Born Out Of Adversity Which Helpfully Destroys One's Ego And Makes One Humble And Selfless. Prolonged Suffering Opens The Eyes To Hate The Things For Which One Craved Before Unduly, Leading Eventually Even To A State Of Resignation. It Then Dawns On Us That Continued Yearnings Brings Us Intense Agony. But The Stoic Mind Is Least Perturbed By The Vicissitudes Of Life. It Is Well Within Our Efforts To Conquer Grief. It's Simple. Develop An Attitude Of Detachment Even While Remaining In The Thick Of Terrestrial Pleasures.
