I came across this in my studies and felt to share it. What do you think? Is it pertinant to our situations here?

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience, is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience faith, fortitude, and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially if we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable...and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we came here to acquire"

O.F. Whitney

Any thoughts?
