In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.

All the great masters of the spiritual life have been at once profoundly pessimistic and almost infinitely optimistic. If certain conditions are fulfilled, human beings may cease to behave as the pathetic or deplorable creatures they mistakenly think they are and be what in fact they always have been, if they had only given themselves a chance of knowing it- enlightened, liberated, “godded in God.” But that more than a very few of us will ever be fulfill those conditions is overwhelmingly improbable. Many are called, but very few are chosen; for very few ever choose to be chosen.
— Aldous Huxley
