Email: Consider the lilies [EH]

My point is not that you shouldn't have feelings, however, to have intense feelings in reaction to things never said, or needless reactions to things that could be seen in a less tragic or hopeless way -- there is a better way. There is always hope. (Jesus said [so].) There are options. It is your choice what to believe and how to act -- but if two people are in the same circumstances and one is happier (more well-adjusted) than the other, perhaps the latter can learn something by considering the path of the former -- as what one believes and how one acts is vital to one's happiness.
