Excerpt |
|
If we remember that there is a correspondence between the life of a human being and that of nature,
we can say that a young person's formative years can be compared to the period when the earth itself
was being formed. At that time, no organized form of life was possible on earth, for it was nothing
but a seething mass of molten matter constantly racked by volcanic eruptions... Nothing solid can be
built on such unstable ground, and this means that before they can become a hos-pitable environment
for plants, animals and human beings, symbolically speaking, young people have to introduce an element
of moderation, control and harmony into their lives. It is this that constitutes the transition from
youth to adulthood: the transition from an unorganized, chaotic, unstable life to a life that is rich
and full and beneficial both to oneself and to others.

What kind of people are most likely to command our respect and admiration? Those who have struggled and
transcended themselves, who have triumphed over all obstacles and ordeals. Why do young people admire
athletes so much? Because they are continually striving to do better. Even if only in running or
jumping or swimming or climbing, endurance and courage and a readiness to exert oneself are always
considered admirable qualities. Would it not be worthwile to try to
manifest these same qualities in your everyday lives? Instead of focusing on running farther,
swimming faster, jumping higher or catching and kicking a ball more accuratley, it would be better to
tell yourself, 'I will be more patient when things are difficult; I will overcome grief and sadness;
I will learn to control myself better!'
