As victims of hurt, we frequently don’t bring up what ails us, because so many wounds look absurd in the light of day.

John Powell

The fully human person is in deep and meaningful contact with the world outside of him. He not only listens to himself, but to the voices of the world. The breadth of his own individual experience is infinitely multiplied through a sensitive empathy with others. He suffers with the suffering, rejoices with the joyful. He is born again in every springtime, feels the impact of the great mysteries of life: birth, growth, love, suffering, death. His heart skips along with the ‘young lovers’, and he knows something of the exhilaration that is in them. He also knows the ghetto’s philosophy of despair, the loneliness of suffering without relief, and the bell never tolls without tolling in some strange way for him.
