"Pain isn't the worst thing. Being hated isn't the worse thing. Being seperated from the one you love isn't the worse thing. The worse thing is failing to deal with reality and becoming disconnected from what is actual. The worse thing is trivialising the honorable, desecrating the sacred...
We don't become mature human beings by getting lucky or cleaver circumventing loss, and certainly not by avoidance and distraction. Learnt to lament. Learn this lamentation..."
- Eugene Peterson
