“A warrior of light is not always a believer.
There are moments when he believes in absolutely nothing. He asks his heart: ‘Is it worth putting in all this effort?’
But his heart remains silent. The warrior must decide for himself.
Then he seeks an example.
He remembers that Jesus passed through something similar, in order to share the human condition to the full. ‘Let this cup pass from me,’ said Jesus.
He, too, lost heart and courage, but he did not stop.
The warrior of light remains without faith.
But he continues to move forward and, in the end, his faith returns.”
— Paulo Coelho, Manual of the Warrior of Light
