The other day I read a very inspiring quote from the great writer Albert Camus in which he said:
”In the depth of winter I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
I take this to mean that no matter how difficult the days in our lives are, we have within ourselves an internal sun that is always there to bring light to our lives and feed our souls, and that this ”summer” of light can never be darkened even if terrible things befall us.
Camus’ quote is so relevant today as people throughout the world go through a harsh ”winter” that reveals itself in harsh economic conditions, loss of jobs, terrible wars that never seem to end, personal and family problems. So my question today is what does the quote by Camus mean to you? Do you agree with it — is there always a beautiful summer within us? How have you find the light in your own life when things have gone wrong? Or, what is the quote or advice or philosophy that gets you through hard times?
Please share your insights with us. We all need such help to find our courage.
