Is there an answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people?...The response would beโฆto forgive the world for not being perfect, to forgive God for not making a better world, to reach out to the people around us, and to go on living despite it allโฆno longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it has happened.

Harold S. KushnerSometimes we are simply "blown away" and in awe by finding ourselves in the presence of God. Other times, however, even when we are participating in acts of kindness-complimenting others, writing a check to charity, donating time to a good cause-we are oblivious to the miracle of what is happening at that moment.
Harold S. KushnerYou cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.
