“Optimism is radical. It is the hard choice, the brave choice. And it is, it seems to me, most needed now, in the face of despair—just as a car is most useful when you have a distance to close. Otherwise it is a large, unmovable object parked in the garage. These days, the safest way for someone to appear intelligent is being skeptical by default. We seem sophisticated when we say “we don’t believe” and disingenuous when we say “we do.” History and fable have both proven that nothing is ever entirely lost. David can take Goliath. A beach in Normandy can turn the tide of war. Bravery can topple the powerful. These facts are often seen as exceptional, but they are not. Every day, we all become the balance of our choices—choices between love and fear, belief or despair. No hope is ever too small.”

— Guillermo Del Toro (via veinsofmantra)

How do you feel a prayer when you immediately sat at the TV for several hours, absorbed various information, and turning off the TV, immediately started to pray. It would be nice not to watch TV at all, but if you still watch it, then turn it off, first warm your heart, read a chapter from the Holy Scriptures or the work of the Holy Fathers, so that you would gradually find yourself in a place of prayer (ready for prayer). Only then will you feel the prayer. Loaded with problems, with a cold heart, you cannot talk with the Lord: the impressions of the day will disturb you. - St. Paisios the Athonite
