The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from De Profundis by Oscar Wilde: were there not a single house open to me in pity; had I to accept
the wallet and ragged cloak of sheer penury: as long as I am free
from all resentment, hardness and scorn, I would be able to face
the life with much more calm and confidence than I would were my
body in purple and fine linen, and the soul within me sick with
hate.
And I really shall have no difficulty. When you really want love
you will find it waiting for you.
I need not say that my task does not end there. It would be
comparatively easy if it did. There is much more before me. I
have hills far steeper to climb, valleys much darker to pass
