“The writings of latter-day prophets clearly teach that the sorrows and sufferings endured by Adam and Eve upon their leaving the Garden of Eden were ordained by God and were a necessary part of their-and our-earthly experience. President Howard W. Hunter, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, taught: "We came to mortal life to encounter resistance. It was part of the plan for our eternal progress. Without temptation, sickness, pain, and sorrow, there could be no goodness, virtue, appreciation for well-being, or joy."” WritingWellsPainJoySufferingPresidentTeachVirtueProgressPlansTaughtSorrowMembersGoodnessEternalGardenLeavingAppreciationResistanceTemptationMortalsWell BeingProphetEncountersSicknessLatterAdamTwelveHuntersApostlesEdenAdam And EveGarden Of EdenLatter DaysPain And Sorrow Author:Daniel K Judd
“As an individual with my own hurts, I go into the Garden (Gethsemane) as often as I need to. There I identify with the pain in the other, with my part in that pain, my part in tempting someone to wound me. I experience the other's pain, and God's pain, and am devastated - because their pain becomes my own. Feeling such anguish, I can forgive, or deeply repent, either for myself or on behalf of the other.” NeedsI CanFeelingsPainIndividualHurtMy OwnGardenForgivingWoundsAnguishBehalfRepentTemptingDevastatedGethsemane Author:John Sandford
“If Adam and Eve were not hunter-gatherers, then they were certainly gatherers. But, then, consumer desire, or self-embitterment, or the 'itch,' as Schopenhauer called it, appeared in the shape of the serpent. This capitalistic monster awakens in Adam and Eve the possibility that things could be better. Instantly, they are cast out of the garden and condemned to a life of toil, drudgery, and pain. Wants supplanted needs, and things have been going downhill ever since.” IfsWantNeedsHas BeensSelfPainDesirePossibilityShapesGardenCastsMonstersConsumersAdamToilHuntersSerpentAdam And EveDrudgeryHunter Gatherers Author:Tom Hodgkinson

“If you grow a garden you are going to shed some sweat, and you are going to spend some time bent over; you will experience some aches and pains.

“You have to temper the iron. Every hardship is an opportunity that you are given, an opportunity to grow. To grow is the sole purpose of existence on this planet Earth. You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.” IfsEarthPainBeautifulDeathPurposeOpportunityGivenGrowsLossExistencePlanetsFlowerGardenSickSandIronHardshipTemperSolePlanet EarthFlower GardenBeautiful Flower Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“Child development: Most damaging course of action is attempting to keep children from experience or protect them from pain, for it is this time that children learn that life is a magic thing, if "not a rose garden."
