The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind
You don’t have any idea what love really is. You can’t love anyone or anything until you love your own existence, first. Love can only grow out of respect for your own life. When you love yourelf, your own existence, then you love someone who can enhance your existence, share it with you, and make it more pleasureable. When you hate yourslef, and believe your own existence is evil, then you can only hate, you can only experience the shell of love, that longing for something good, but you have nothing to base it in but hatred. YOu taint the very concept of love, with your corrupted longing for it. You want me only to justify your hatred, to be your partner in self-loathing. To truly love someone, you must revel in their existence because they make life all the more wonderful. If you think existence is corrupt, then you are sealed off from the fruition of such a relationship, from what love really is. (Jennsen Rahl, half sister of Lord Rahl to Sebastian)

How sweet!!! Para mapatunayan ang pagmamahal sa isang tao, kailangan munang mahalin at pahalagahan ang sariling buhay. Naalala ko ang nabasa kong libro noon, sinabi naman niyang hindi ka makapagmamahal ng buo kung ang hinahanap mo ay kapunuan ng iyong sarili. Kung pakiramdam mo ay may nawawala pang isang bahagi sa sarili mo. Hindi daw ganoon ang pagmamahal… kinakailangang kumpleto na ang tingin mo sa iyong sarili at hahanapin mo ang katipan na kung saan ibabahagi mo ang iyong kabuuan. Mas maganda sana kung maaalala ko ang buon konteksto… kaya lang, ang talaan ko ay hindi ko dala dito… sayang…

WIZARD’S SEVETH RULELIFE IS THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST. The past can teach us through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings, we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices. (Lord Richard Rahl)

Sabi nga, matuto na tayo sa kamalian ng kahapon… at matutong pumili ng tama sa ngayon. Wala lang…
