What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

Perhaps the priesthood or monastic life? What about the French Foreign Legion…

A quote from a French Foreign Legion Officer to reflect upon:

“It’s like this. There is no point in trying to understand. Time is unimportant. We are dust from the stars. We are nothing at all. Whether you die at age 15 or 79, in a thousand years there is no significance to it.” Vanity Fair “The Expendables” Dec. 2012

These are the words of a man who has nothing to lose.
