The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

happen to you as well!

When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
