notable quote

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches.

If suffering alone taught,

all the world would be wise,

since everyone suffers.

To suffering must be added mourning,

understanding, patience, love, openness

and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

~Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh

(1906-2001, Aviator and Author)

...Why, then you discover Empathy...Empathy, love and compassion...Isn't that what God wants us to be capable of feeling...to do his good work. Sometimes "getting to that place" hurts a lot though...we have to trust God.
