EXCERPT FROM "THE LAST MEETING" by Sandor Marai
But deep in your soul lived a turbulent emotion,
a constant desire, the desire to be different than you were. It is the biggest tragedy that fate can punish a person. The desire to be different from who we are, can not beat another painful desire in the human heart, because life can not otherwise support who know that we settle for what we stand for ourselves and the world. Foulbrood have to settle for us, and be aware that this change will not receive any awards wisdom of life: we do not bring any honor to know and accept that we are vain, selfish, tripudos bald and no, we know that about any of that receive awards or decorations. We have to endure it, this is the only secret. We must support our character and our temperament, and his failures, selfishness and desire not able to change or our experiences or our understanding. We must support our desires do not always have an impact on the world. We must support the people we love do not always love us, love us or not as we would like. We must endure betrayals and infidelities, and most difficult of all: that a particular person is superior to us, moral or intellectual qualities. This is what I have and learned in seventy-five yearsof life here in the middle of this forest. But you have not been able to bear it, "he says softly.
