I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
C. S. LewisWe were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, 'Blessed are they that mourn,' and I accept it. I've got nothing that I hadn't bargained for. Of course it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.
