Reflection

Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own – a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty.

It is not so important where one settles down. The best thing is to follow your instincts without too much reflection.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
