“What is it that the child has to teach?
The child naively believes that everything should be fair
and everyone should be honest,
that only good should prevail,
that everybody should have what they want
and there should be no pain or sadness.
The child believes the world should be perfect
and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right.”
― Wisdom to Heal the Earth - Meditations and Teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

“The ultimate blissful pleasure is that which we created beings give back in return—when a lost soul returns, a hidden spark of meaning is restored to its place, a piece of the world that seemed unsalvageable, ugly and sinister is transformed so that it shines—even if but for a moment—with its essential, primordial light.”
