About This Quote

The quote above is one of the most powerful quotes I have ever heard. It is a profound thought that can be applied to any situation. It also brings the question of how terrible it is to be alone, separated from the one who is closest to you. What if you are married and your spouse dies? How terrible, then, to be alone after that, never to have known that person or to love them.

How terrible it would be if you were an orphan and your parents died before you were able to even know them. How terrible it would be to grow up without either of them ever having been around for you.
