The justification of the injustice of the universe is not our blind acceptance of God's inexplicable will, nor our trust in God's love, his dark and incomprehensible love, for us, but our human love, notwithstanding anything, for him.”

Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don't be lazy to think.”
