“Seven times I humiliated my soul: the first was when I saw it avoiding heights; the second was when I saw him limping in front of the lame; the third was when he had to choose between easy and hard, but chose easy; the fourth was when he made a mistake and consoled himself with the mistakes of others; the fifth was when he persevered in weakness and strained his patience into strength; the sixth was when he despised the ugliness of a face and did not realize that it was actually one of his masks; and the seventh was when he sang a song of praise and thought it was a virtue.” Khalil Gibran
