“It is easy to hate and difficult to love. This is how the world is structured, and how things within it work.
All good things are difficult to achieve, and bad things are very easy to obtain.”
— Confucius
The opposite message is just as valid. Osho, for example, writes that striving toward difficult things is a trick of the mind, because the path to enlightenment is through surrender and acceptance, not through resistance.
Yehuda Berg, the author of The Power of Kabbalah, claims exactly the opposite – that we generate Light in our lives by practicing Resistance, and that what we resist is reactive behavior. Reactive behavior is the easy path; resistance to it is the difficult one.
The nature of the psyche is paradoxical, and this also applies to the paths of the Spirit. If this is your thought of the day, however, check whether it is a sign for you to avoid the easy paths.
