“Here I am going to say something which may come as a bit of a shock. God doesn t necessarily want us to be happy. He wants us to be lovable. Worthy of love. Able to be loved by Him. We don t start off being all that lovable, if we re honest. What makes people hard to love? Isn t it what is commonly called selfishness? Selfish people are hard to love because so little love comes out of them.”

“I ran across an excerpt today (in English translation) of some dialogue/narration from the modern popular writer, Paulo Coelho in his book: Aleph.(Note: bracketed text is mine.)... I spoke to three scholars, [the character says at last. ] ...two of them said that, after death, the [sic (misprint, fault of the publisher)] just go to Paradise. The third one, though, told me to consult some verses from the Koran. [end quote] ...I can see that he s excited. [narrator] ...Now I have many positive things to say about Coelho: He is respectable, inspiring as a man, a truth-seeker, and an appealing writer; but one should hesitate to call him a literary writer based on this quote. A literary author knows that a character s excitement should be shown in his or her dialogue and not in the narrator s commentary on it. Advice for Coelho: Remove the I can see that he s excited sentence and show his excitement in the phrasing of his quote.(Now, in defense of Coelho, I am firmly of the opinion, having myself written plenty of prose that is flawed, that a novelist should be forgiven for slipping here and there.)Lastly, it appears that a belief in reincarnation is of great interest to Mr. Coelho ... Just think! He is a man who has achieved, (as Leonard Cohen would call it), a remote human possibility. He has won lots of fame and tons of money. And yet, how his preoccupation with reincarnation—none other than an interest in being born again as somebody else—suggests that he is not happy!”
