It's a shame that humans don't come with reset buttons.

I am facing the most difficult thing of my life, my own greatest failure.

As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker's socks. These stowaways may seem insignificant at first, but, over time, if we do not occasionally stop and shake them free, the accumulation becomes a burden to our souls.

"You know, I've wondered if it's more painful to lose someone you love to death or to lose someone you love because she no longer loves you back." "I don't know," I said. "On the surface, it seems an easy question. It should be so much easier to lose someone who doesn't love you, because why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want you? But rejection's not an east road. A part of you always wonders what makes you so unlovable."

Life is not yours to take.

People aren't wired to be alone. Even in the stressful population of prison, solitary confinement is still considered a cruel punishment.

The sweetness of reunion is the joy of heaven.
