To suffer binds you to something higher than yourself, higher than your own will. Takes you from the world to find what lies beyond it.
He shows His love not by helping avoid suffering, but by sending you suffering, by keeping you there.
Intelligence
They say intelligence is a gift,
But sometimes it can be a rift.
Too smart, they call it, a heavy load,
A burden that nobody else can decode.
The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory
“A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth-that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which a man can aspire.
―Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning
