Out of suffering
have emerged
the strongest souls;
the most massive characters
are seared with scars.
- Khalid Gibran (from The Prophet, the best known work of 26 prose poetry fables written in English by Gibran, a Lebanese-American artist, philosopher and writer. The Prophet has been translated into over 40 different languages and has never been out of print).
It has been said that our suffering allows us to cultivate compassion and empathy, so that we may truly connect with our fellow man. Just sayin' :) Hugs.
