I love this quote. Are you a warrior?
"At this point, having completely renounced his own
comfort and privacy, paradoxically the warrior finds himself more alone. He is
like an island sitting alone in the middle of a lake. Occassional ferry boats
and commuters go back and forth between the shore and the island, but all that
activity only expresses further loneliness, or the aloneness of the island.
Although the warrior's life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he
will never be able to completely share his experience with others. The fullness
of this experience is his own and he must live with his own truth. Yes he is
more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and
loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others.
By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a
fuller and fuller broken heart. This is not something to feel bad about: it is
a cause for rejoicing. It is entering the warrior's world." ~Chogyam Trungpa
