Pain and Growth
佚名 / Anonymous
Looking back over my life， it seems to me that I have learned the most when I felt the greatest pain. My mother' s death， for example， made me more profoundly aware of the beauty in nature. My capacity for finding joy in the most ordinary events (watching a flower open， leaves turning red， a bird taking a bath) seems to deepen each time I live through great sorrow. Death makes life more precious； frustration makes success more fulfilling； failure makes the next accomplishment more meaningful.
