The Winner Stands Alone

'How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?'

'Because "saving the planet" gives a sense of power, action and nobility. Whereas "not letting the planet destroy us" might lead to feelings of despair and impotence, and to a realisation of just how very limited our capabilities are.'

from 'The Winner Stands Alone' by Paulo Coelho

I was reading this book 'The Winner Stands Alone' and found this amazingly amazing paragraph. Paulo Coelho is the legend, beyond words. He writes and says what I've never thought or heard.

Who could have thought that it will erase us instead of letting us destroy the planet but Paulo Coelho?
