EGO DEFLATION IS SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Loving means to love that which is unlovable,

Or it is no virtue at all.

Forgiving means to pardon the unpardonable,

Faith means believing the unbelievable,

And hoping means to hope when things are hopeless.

-- G. K. Chesterton

I admire the deep meaning of that every time I come across it, and ponder the rightness of it. For there it is, plain and simple, how to get right within our self. 

This is beautifully worded poetry which also serves as the how-to for ego deflation in depth...or for still more spiritual growth.

Thank you.
