Virtually all human growth comes through suffering. Almost everything worthwhile in the world is the fruit of suffering. I am the last person to say we should protect people from the grace of their own suffering. But if the sufferer was not allowed to discover what is every child's birthright - the truth, beauty and goodness that stand prior to and above all the suffering - and if he was not allowed to thrive within that bright kingdom, where will he find the courage to endure his suffering?
