About This Quote
In our culture, we often see people who have been betrayed or wronged by one another. We feel compassion for them and want to know what they have been through. But the opposite is true as well. We should seek out the very people who have done us wrong in order to find out how they’ve dealt with it. If they’ve overcome it, then they will most likely be a better person than the person who has been exposed to the same trials and tribulations.
