Stronger We Are

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger," - Friedrich Nietzsche, I believe he wrote the quote in his book : Superman; commenters regarded him as an atheist, yet as an atheist, he had scrutinized many human conditions, his scrutiny has given us some useful insights. I am confident that suffering can bring virtue in persons, but what character they become; is in truth, how they had related to their suffering. - it makes us stronger... but in what character?

This sadness we have for Jeremiah is nurturing a virtue within the family, it is the virtue of patience, it is patience of listening to each other, most of all it is patience of appreciating our moments with our sons. It is the moments with Joshua and John, that makes our love deeper in Jeremiah.

Sadness can be experience without suffering, suffering may be emotional; suffering when hurts remains, when injustice inflicts in words or deeds, when you have not been loved. Whereas sadness can bring compassion for others because deep empathy brings compassion and love. Sadness can bind a community and bring friends together for each other.
