Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn't have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They're kinder.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Since my accident I am a little more mindful of the suffering of other people.
Suffering has roused them from the sleep of gentle life, and every day fills them with a terrible intoxication. They are now something more than themselves; those we loved were merely happy shadows.
I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them, knowing as I do, the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.
Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them.
It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.
I'm attracted to subjects who overcome tremendous suffering and learn to cope emotionally with it.
I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I've also seen a whole lot of pain.
I feel very blessed. I have had, and am having, such a lovely life.
We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.
