I Like a Good Quote

"Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words"

Rainer Maria Rilke

That is a beautiful thought, my friend. And, I think, beautifully, painfully, true sometimes.

I need to respect the words that sometimes flow my way. It's easier to think on their worth than on their cost.

@RealtaReoite It's when we know pain that we are able to recognize it in others and are able to find the words to help them heal.
