Great Expectations

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

One of the many lines of wisdom from the Dickens classic.

As I read GE again, I don't find myself reliving the past so much as discovering anew. Here's another piece of wisdom:

So, throughout our life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.

Isn't it true that we spend more time trying to impress (sometimes at the expense of those we love) those we dislike?

Oremus pro invicem!
