The Instruction of Suffering

Never make a mistake, meet with a disappointment, suffer, lose anything which you prized, or go through any sorrow, without causing it to be a source of instruction. "Who passing through the Valley of Baca make it a well." True wisdom this, instead of abandoning ourselves to grief. Rather say, What am I to learn, be, do, as the result of this trial? So dig in the Valley of Sorrow; it is full of springs not far from the surface.--Anon
