Random pro-life thought: when a women is pregnant she is considered a bad mother if she drinks or smokes while pregnant because that will hurt the unborn baby... all of society agrees with this... But most people are fine with a straight up abortion... I find that conflicting.
"A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time."

"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day."

"There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can not live without but have to let go."-JJ from CM
โIf I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.โ

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say โMy tooth is achingโ than to say โMy heart is broken."
