Life is a struggle full of heartache and pain.

But, if we let them take our joy,then we lost already

greetings Ras KebreAB

I like this thought & can I just add
that

In life one has to struggle because it is only through pain that we are truly receptive to insight... and it is only through disappointment that we are truly humbled.

So we never need to seek struggle nor pain because they are our own personal tests & and such will seek us.

But on balance...
We must not forget that joy costs nothing and can be freely sought because satisfaction & beauty comes twice not in the recipet of 'joy' but also in the seeking (journey/thought) toward it.

I like the quote, I heard it on a film though I don't know the literary origin... which film was it? Does anyone remember...

"the greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince the world he did not exist"

Ah, as I was typing, I remembered. It's from the film Usual Suspects. Boom movie actually. I love that movie.

Thats what I was wondering. It sounds kinda shakesperian or something, right?

lol, it certainly sounds like it came from the mind of an Hinglishman, one of those poets or something, but i just googled it, and everything i see is refering to the movie

The quote is attributed to Pope John XXIII (Pope from 1958-1963)

Here is the original quote

"The greatest trick of the Devil has been to convince the world that he does not exist."
