I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught all the world would be wise since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning understanding patience love openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach the clock no longer...
But the wicked passions of men's hearts alone seem strong enough to leave...
We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
