Paulo CoelhoPeople no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
About This Quote
In the past, people tried to understand life by trying to figure it out. But since life is a mystery, this was a futile endeavor. In the modern age, however, people have chosen to be a part of it. They accept that life is a mystery and put faith in God, who is also a mystery.
