Meditations on God

Do not stop others from going through the pain they must go through in order to grow.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full life.

This is only possible by facing our fears, by pushing past difficulty, and by overcoming the challenges in front of us.

It is natural to want to protect those we love from pain.

Some pain is necessary, however.

This is the type of pain that must be experienced in order for us to grow to our fullest potential.

To attempt to save others from pain is to attempt to save them from life itself.

Not only is this impossible, but it is also impractical.

You are merely delaying the inevitable, and even if it is out of love, you are robbing them of the opportunity to live their fullest lives.

While not always pleasant, pain is necessary, challenges are necessary, and difficulty is necessary.

If you love someone, you must be willing to let them suffer meaningfully.
