“The making of any good thing takes time. God could have created the entire universe in an instant, yet He first introduced the concept of time, and used six days to make the world and man. Patience, friends, patience.” – Makafui.

Quote #38
“To those who question their birth and decry this life and its troubles, and say that it might have been better not to have been born: Well, this life isn’t much, taken on its own merit, but what about eternity?

To err on the side of love is to be acquainted with pain;

Of compassion, empathy, kindness, patience, humility.
To err on the side of love is to realize

Usually inadvertently, but harmful nonetheless.
