First Steps on the Path (The Jewelcrest of Wisdom)
Text 1:
“Health is gained by the sick who follow the path of healing: health does not come through the acts of others.”
Response 1:
What I got out of this quote is basically that we cannot expect others or ask others to heal us as people. It is our desire to be better and our devotion to be better that will make us better people. Becoming a better person isn’t done by others because others cannot have that craving inside of them for us to be better like is required inside of our own hearts.
Text 2:
“Through information, digging, and casting aside the stones, a treasure may be found, but not by calling it to come forth.”
Response 2:
This quote is basically saying that it is not without hard work that one finds success. When I read the “calling it to come forth” part, it made me think of how many students I encounter, sometimes including myself, just expect things to happen for them. They expect to get good grades, acquire the one internship that they apply for, and to eventually make plenty of money. These things don’t just happen and they didn’t happen for those people in our lives that we look up to and want to be like. It is important that we don’t solely assess the outcome of hard work but instead understand the process.
