Suffering
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our

accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
- Deep Trivedi

True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
- A Spiritual Leader
The more the diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
