A quote to show a ray of light
"When people get hurt, they learn to hate... when people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow... and how you grow is up to you."
This is a quote from a person who taught me one of the ways to grow. A person famously known as a Sannin.
@smilingshadow I love that quote! Pain does change people but if we look hard enough, we can transform that pain into something beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 
"Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself." -Walter Anderson
@KindListening very nice quote too! I really appreciate it and its pretty deep too :) and what you said is true, pain changes people, and makes them grow. Its just a quote linking how pain affects the person and the underlying cause, rectifying the root will make us grow into better beings I believe
@smilingshadow
Pain has shaped me into a far better or stronger person and I learned lessons I wouldn't have learned any other way.
@Sventek that's nice, that's what pain is truly meant for. Its the ultimate teacher that'll male you or break you, either ways you'll build yourself from how you perceive pain
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is Love. - Sophocles
@TransAm85 very true! :D I believe in it as well, but where there is love there will also be hate, where love shall erase pain, hate shall create more. Its a cycle in which only love isn't good either,neither is only hate. To have a balance of both is the way to maintain peace and free us from pain
@smilingshadow That is the perfect thing, peace, but somehow this world doesn't know how to maintain it. I wish everyone would just reach a medium and stop arguing. That is causing a lot of depression for people.
