One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.
Harold S. KushnerWhen you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel.
Harold S. KushnerBut at the end, if we are brave enough to love, if we are strong enough to forgive, if we are generous enough to rejoice in another's happiness, and if we are wise enough to know that there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know, we can reenter paradise.
Harold S. KushnerIs 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.
