Lailah Gifty AkitaIn suffering, I got to know my soul.
About This Quote
In suffering, I got to know my soul. From the first day I was born, I have heard others say 'Why are you crying?' I never learned to understand the word “why”. As a young infant, I didn't cry because I felt pain or because I was tired. When it hurt, I cried because it hurt.
When it hurt, I cried because it hurt. And when it hurt, I cried because it hurt. It was the only way to make the pain stop hurting.
