Wisdom and Destiny

Wisdom And Destiny is a philosophical work by Belgian author Maurice Maeterlinck. The book explores the nature of wisdom and the concept of destiny, examining the ways in which these two ideas intersect and shape our lives. Maeterlinck draws on a range of sources, including ancient texts, religious teachings, and his own observations and experiences, to present a thought-provoking and deeply reflective exploration of these fundamental aspects of human existence. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of wisdom and destiny, such as the role of intuition, the nature of suffering, and the meaning of death. Throughout the book, Maeterlinck challenges readers to question their assumptions and beliefs, and to consider the ways in which they can cultivate greater wisdom and understanding in their own lives. Written in a clear and accessible style, Wisdom And Destiny is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today.It is imperative that there should be some who dare speak, and think, and act as though all men were happy; for otherwise, when the day comes for destiny to throw open to all the people's garden of the promised land, what happiness shall the others find there, what justice, what beauty or love? It may be urged, it is true, that it were best, first of all, to consider the most pressing needs, yet is this not always wisest; it is often of better avail from the start to seek that which is highest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
