Reflections of the Warrior of the Light - The right renouncement

By Paulo Coelho

“In any activity, it is important to know what to expect, the means of obtaining the objective, and our capability for the proposed task.

“Only he who, thus equipped, feels no desire for the results of the conquest, and remains absorbed in the combat, can truly say he has renounced the fruit.

“One can renounce the fruit, but that renouncement does not mean indifference to the result.”

The warrior of the light listens respectfully to Ghandi’s strategy. And is not distracted by people who, incapable of achieving any result, are forever preaching renouncement.

Post-War New World Map, 1942

Today in Digg, I found an interesting world map based in Roosevelt’s message to the 77th Congress on the state of the Union made on the 31st of march 1942. As you will see this map quarantines Germany, Japan and Italy - known as the countries of the Axis - and we see future enemies - US and URSS - together in this battle. I thought this was an interesting piece to share here with you : a look from the past towards the future.

World at 1942

Here’s an excerpt from the caption of this map:
“Outline of Post-War New World map as the USA, with the cooperation of the Democracies of Latin America, the British Commonwealth of Nations and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, assumes World Leadership for the establishment of a New World Moral Order for permanent Peace, Freedom, Justice, Security and World Reconstruction.”
