"Think of some of the painful events in your life. For how many of them are you grateful today, because thanks to them you changed and grew? Here is a simple truth of life that most people never discover. Happy events make life delightful but they do not lead to self-discovery and growth and freedom. That privilege is reserved to the things and persons and situations that cause us pain.Every painful event contains in itself a seed of growth and liberation."
- Anothony De Mello. The Way to Love: The Last Meditations of... Image Books, 1995. pg 157
