But, if pain is to be a companion, searching and discovering
your own best ways to travel with that pain
will lead you to the joy that you long to have.

and the experiences of others may inspire you,

and make for yourself that lead you to certain joy
in the midst of your challenges.

There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.

so I may as well enjoy it"
