Quote of the day by French philosopher Simone Weil: 'Every separation is a link. The world is the closed door.' A life lesson on connection

It is natural to be consumed by lifes experiences the good and the bad and to treat each experience as the ultimate pleasure or devastation. French philosopher Simone Weil once observed that instead of becoming too emotionally attached to life and worldly joys and sorrows, we should treat each experience as fleeting and as a bridge towards the divine.
