"The bitch of it is that you probably did the right thing. But you did it in the wrong way. In the inconvenient way. Now you have to pay the penalty for that. I know it stinks, but that's the way it is."

| Always a great source of reflective wisdom |
It's dubious to think we can go through life without great pains. Sometimes we have neither good nor bad choices, or only bad and/or good choices, some without end, some with end, and some with beginnings. Either way when we are stuck between a rock and a hard place, we have to accept that pain will come for us or another. We don't always get to decide. The wonderful part is a quote that reminds me hope and the price tag on hope is always important,
"It is said that the future is always born in pain. The history of war is the history of pain. If we are wise, what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world, because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past."
G'Kar, In the Beginning (B5)
What does that mean?
What does it mean to mature from pain?
What does it mean to mature pain into hope?
A hope for a better world?
Are any of us really ready for the price tag?
Are any of us really in a position to wait?
Thoughts?
