About This Quote

The crying sounded even louder out of doors. It was as if all the painin the world had found a voice, was making its way to the surface and speaking up. The author chose this image because it is so powerful and so important. The world is filled with pain, sadness and despair.

These negative emotions are all around us. And, they can be heard by all those who are aware enough to hear them. They can be felt by those who are feeling them and they can be seen by those who care enough to notice them and look for them.

If we chose to ignore these negative emotions we would miss out on the greatest glory in living – that of overcoming them – and that is an idea that will not make us feel good about ourselves.
