“A man of God has many brothers. He is a wounded soldier - he is familiar with the pain one feels in his heart, as a close and loving brother, when a brother falls victim of evil men or turns to evil desires (the latter sometimes even betrayal). Because of this, too, he is and must be well-acquainted with and trained in the strengths of hope and the gentleness of forgiveness and mercy.” MenFeelsWellsHeartSometimesPainDesireTurnsFallEvilBrotherMercyVictimSoldierBetrayalFamiliarLatterWoundedGentlenessEvil ManMan Of GodWounded Soldier Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

I confess, their patience and patriotism is well beyond my own.” IfsWellsPersonsPainMy OwnViolenceColorCitizensWalkingPicksDeserveBetrayalToleranceManageFloridaTestamentBricksStoicCourthouses Author:David Simon
“I don't speak about my pain. My pain is something that doesn't need to be purged. I want to prevent people from suffering. I don't speak about my suffering.

It would be a betrayal.” PeopleKnowsWantNeedsWould BePainSufferingSpeakBetrayalLeaving MeDiscreetNever Leave Me Author:Elie Wiesel
