Summary

This quote suggests that self-pity and despair are intertwined, much like a disease and its cure. It implies that God has intentionally placed self-pity close to despair as a way to counter it. In other words, when one is overwhelmed by despair, they might naturally encounter self-pity. However, self-pity can provide a glimmer of hope or a means of healing from the depths of despair. It implies that self-pity has the potential to serve as a catalyst for resilience and recovery.

Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak

Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but are the light inside.
