It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names.
Yann MartelThese people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves.

Their resolve is frightening.

I wept like a child. It was not because I was overcome at having survived my ordeal, though I was. Nor was it the presence of my brothers and sisters, though that too was very moving. I was weeping because ....fill in the blank with whatever/whoever helped you survive... had left me so unceremoniously.

You might think I lost all hope at that point. I did. And as a result I perked up and felt much better.

I ask you, is it the fig tree's fault that it's not the season for figs? What kind of thing is that to do to an innocent tree, wither it instantly?
