Quote

Horrible things happen all our lives; we all experience loss and death and trauma. Usually, most people, I think, we just get on with it. We don't have a whole soliloquy in the middle of something.

Horrible things happen, but were they horrible? No, they were just circumstances of the world.

Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.

You have to come to full realization of just how horrible things are. And this is how horrible things are: Donald Trump is almost the President of the United States.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!

As we look around, it's very clear that in this world people do outrageous things to one another all of the time. It's not that these qualities or actions make us bad people, but they bring tremendous suffering if we don't know how to work with them.

Everybody had something horrible happen to them at one time or another in their life.

When things begin to go bad, the perception of people makes it worse.

Things are never so bad they can't be made worse.

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
