No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our soul, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called someone of substance - people who are kind and generous and who know what it means to live like there is no life at all. And it is through all our sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we came here to acquire and which will make us more like those who have already left and proved that despite everything, our ability to exist is such a wonderful thing.
