The Freedom of Spirit

Viktor Frankl

We who lived in the concentration camps can remember those who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread… They may have been few in number but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from us but the last of human freedoms… the freedom to choose our spirit in any circumstance.

Quoted in The Art of Forgiveness, Jack Kornfield

[When those who have little or nothing share their mercy and love, it is a miracle.]
