About This Quote
In The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho writes, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” We all have moments in our lives when we have done something wrong – maybe we’ve stolen a pencil or lied to a friend – and afterward feel guilty. Or maybe we’ve done something that seemed good at the time – maybe we got a speeding ticket or took out a loan we couldn’t afford – and later regret it. But it doesn’t matter if your mistake was small or large; it doesn’t matter if you thought you were doing the right thing. Mistakes weigh us down and make us miserable. The trick is not to dwell on them; to learn from them; and then to move on.
