"Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music...And those who could not dance said the music was bad."

Be a Character!
Suffering is the tuition one pays for a character degree.
- Richard M. Rayner, M.D.
What you Learn from Suffering
"Perhaps you think this isn't very positive' sounding, but I find it helps people (patients and friends) put hardship, which is inevitable, to good use," says Richard. "People can use their suffering either to gain character or become bitter. The ones who choose bitterness live a long, slow death. The ones who choose character truly live." Richard is right on the money. Happiness and sadness don't happen to us--they come from within. The story of your life will be written with or without your help. The next chapter is happening while you read this. Will you wait to see what it says later, or will you help write it?
