Because God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.
- Dean Koontz in The Darkest Evening of the Year

Wonderful quote. So very true and beautifully written...
and speaking of quoting, you can't really pull of saying that you "dissed" someone. I think your falling in the lobby was not only pay back for the dissing, but a forshadowing punishment for saying "dissed." Word.
Peace out.
Yep! Contrast is the best teacher! Auntie Joye
