SECRETS OF LIFE

"THE BRIDGE
'One part of us wants self-change, but another part resists.'
'I will tell you what man is like. He is like a small child who glimpses
several children at play on the other side of a high bridge. The child
gazes longingly over, wishing to join the happy activities. But at the same
time that he sees the other side he also sees the bridge - which he fears
to cross. Do you know what a true teacher is? He is someone who has crossed
the bridge himself. He can therefore assure you that in spite of all your
fears it is perfectly safe to cross the bridge.'"
