As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." Soren Kierkegaard once wrote: "A man may perform astonishing feats and comprehend a vast amount of knowledge, and yet have no understanding of himself. But suffering directs a man to look within. - I always add to Mr. Franklin's quote of: "Those things that hurt, instruct." ("What do you want to do with the instruction?") This requires introspection and accountability on the observer - something greatly missing in the zeitgeist of our instant gratifying culture.)
Favorite quote: "As you believe so it is done unto you." I think Jesus gets credit for first getting this in print. I heard it first from Dr. Tom Costa. It has been the story of my own life

hi
Can't wait 🥳
Heyyo! Nice! Happy to see that you're on the conversation thread train!
My favorite quote recently is' "Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?"
It's from the Quran, but I learned it through reading the work of Joseph Campbell!
