But this is human life: the war, the deeds, The disappointment, the anxiety, Imaginations struggles, far and nigh,All human; bearing in themselves this good, That they are still the air, the subtle food, To make us feel existence. -Keats, EndymionThis is the goal of the soul path to feel existence; not to overcome lifes struggles and anxieties, but to know life first hand, to exist fully in context. (Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul, p.260)
