My Favourite Lines

These lines are taken from the story "The Postman" by Rabindranath Tagore.

I have revered these lines for many years. These are some of the most touching, honest, realistic lines that I've ever read. The lines say so much, and all so true. They go like this -

"O poor, unthinking human heart! Error will not go away, logic and reason are slow to penetrate. We cling with both arms to false hope, refusing to believe the weightest proofs against it, embracing it with all our strength. In the end it escapes, ripping our veins and draining our heart's blood; until, regaining consciousness, we rush to fall into snares of delusion all over again."

If you can, do read "The Postman". Its a great read!
