Life is a banquet

Life is a banquet.

And the tragedy is that most people are starving to death. That’s what I’m really talking about.

There’s a nice story about some people who were on a raft off the coast of Brazil perishing from thirst.

They had no idea that the water they are floating on was fresh water. The river was coming out into the sea with such force that it went out for a couple of miles, so they had fresh water right there where they were. But they had no idea.

In the same way, we’re surrounded with joy, with happiness, with love.

Most people have no idea of this whatsoever

- Awareness Anthony De Mello
