Worthy of consideration
by chuckofish
“Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world’s phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again. That is why every man’s story is important, eternal, sacred; that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous, and worthy of consideration. In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross.”
–Hermann Hesse


I’ve always heard of Herman Hesse. Have never read his words. This quote is very thought provoking and makes me feel good about myself. Also, liked the quote above it.
I think so too!

Well, thank you!
Great quote — I knew Hesse was a spiritual guy, but I didn’t know he would write something that nice. I guess I haven’t read anything since Siddhartha (and that was ages and ages ago).
Add him to the ever-growing list!
