Tuesday's Thought:
"If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it."
(Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jurist)

That's a very intriguing quote, and some sound advice too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. One of the saddest things to see is a person who's been spared trouble as a child, then meets it as an adult, ill-equipped to handle it.
