Discernment
Discernment should be one of our desires on our spiritual journey. It should not be born from our curiosity about other people, but a desire to stay on the straight and narrow path leading us to our destination.
If I did not suffer minute by minute it would be impossible for me to be patient; but I seek only the present moment, I forget the past and take good care not to anticipate the future. If we grow disheartened, if we sometimes despair it's because we have been dwelling on the past or living in the future.
