Freedom and virtue are the same thing. They come at the cost of the willingness of that which shall enjoy that privilege, the hard work of forgiving your enemies and letting the dog die, clearing your window, forgiving your transgressors, forgiving the view that you accepted early in your life that lead you to such troubled waters, to go all the way to the root of it and to forgive it and to be clean of it, and to entertain no one else in our life that reminds us of the lessness of ourselves.   - Ramtha
