My support group - my mom, my dad, my sisters, my brothers-in-law, my immediate nieces and nephews, my immediate family like Aunt Donna - I know I can trust them. Most of the other people. . . they never called me before, they never said "I love you" before, they never wanted to take a picture with me at family reunions. It's like, don't do it now. . . You win the lottery and all of a sudden everybody's your best friend.
Why do men learn through pain and suffering, and not through pleasure and happiness? Very simply, because pleasure and happiness accustom one to satisfaction with the things given in this world, whereas pain and suffering drive one to seek a more profound happiness beyond the limitations of this world.
