Remember: all of life is working as it should; people know beauty and gentleness in the world because of the sordid and disgusting things of this world. So, we should never wish to make the world into seeing nothing but beauty, for that would be a fool's folly and a great mistake. Instead, simply try to be as the noonday sun, and bring deep warmth to all those around you. In this way, you will affirm beauty and let all move towards what shines so pure.
