Description

Bodily weightlessness brings about spiritual weightlessness—one that cannot feel another’s pain or love. And how easy it is to lose yourself in smug “I’m No One, Just Someone!” A spoiled little princess raised by unwise parents has no idea what it means to love, to pity, to sympathize. Not even the most renowned scholars can help such trouble. What is needed is long, painstaking work by the Wise Woman, who will teach the princess to see herself as she truly is and to love others. To learn the simple lesson of love and mercy, the princess repeats again and again her attempts to fix herself. “I’m tired of myself,” the girl says, “but I can’t find peace until I try again.”
