" Smooth seas
do not make for
a skillful sailor. "
African Proverb
" [our] theory does not suggest
that there is an
absence of suffering
as wisdom builds,
but rather
that appreciable growth
occurs
within the context
of pain and loss.
In fact, some measure of
significant distress
may be necessary
for growth to occur - "

ReplyDeleteDon't think I'd want to fly in that neon plane. So, what are we supposed to guess is happening with your ending frills of everflowing "69696969696969696969"s? The fish I get; is this a numnerical centipede? DrumMajor

Happy New year. Thanks for dropping by my blog :)
I like the plane. And it's so true that wisdom does not eliminate suffering. Have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteIn a strange sort of way I do believe we have to experience 'bad things' sometimes to strengthen our beliefs. Well I do know that it's only a few minutes away from Saturday here Cloudia, but I'm hoping that you will still be enjoying your Friday for some time yet!
ReplyDeletei wish it were easier, sometimes, than it is. :)
ReplyDeletePain is necessary for growth, but too much pain stifles it. I guess it's like the rest of life, not quite fair or predictable, and different for each person.
ReplyDeleteI love the airplane and the ships.
ReplyDeleteNice words and numbers, especially the numbers.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes! Wishing you all the best in the new year :)
