Just A Thought ~ WE NEED PROBLEMS

"It is a tragedy for a person not to have had difficulties to overcome in his or her childhood."

~ Alfred Adler, Austrian Psychologist, 1870 - 1937 ~

Too much kindness becomes unkindness. Imagine a mother loving her child so much that she cannot bear to see him fall down and cry when he tries to walk, so says to him: "Oh, don't bother even trying; I will carry you wherever you need to go."

This would be compassion without wisdom, and would not help the child at all. Pain is part of life, and we must learn how to deal with it. Difficulties help us develop fiber and resourcefulness.
