Struggling with Emotions

Fear, anger, doubt, tears, guilt and depression are all emotions that we’ve experienced and will experience. Some, even today, may feel completely overwhelmed by one or several of these emotions. The challenge for us ... is not IF you’ll struggle with these, it’s HOW you’ll struggle that makes all the difference. – Psalms 3

Indifference: The Killer of Life

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

– Elie Weisel

Loving Someone Else (even if they're better off without you)
