This is a quote from Samuel Beckett - one of my favorite purveyors of thought provoking prose, word pictures, drama, theater, and poetry.
"Hardly had the glow been kindled by some good deed on your part or by some little triumph over your rivals or by a word of praise from your parents or mentors when it would begin to cool and fade leaving you in a very short time as chill and dim as before."
-- Samuel Beckett, Company
My immediate thought - Heat and light well up from the soul.
Those who live in chilly darkness need to open their heart to the possibility of a warm, bright, sunny day.
Hope, satisfaction, and happiness - not earned.
