“A [person] who loves others with an open-hearted simplicity, who trusts others no matter who they are, even if he is deceived or even betrayed – such a [person] in the present-day world is bound to be written off as a fool. And so [they are]. But not just an ordinary fool. [They are] a wonderful fool who will never allow the little light which [they] shed…to go out.”
— Shusaku Endo (via purplebuddhaquotes)
