"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known
defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their
way of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity,
and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness
and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
Elizabeth Kubler Ross - Author (1926-2004)
Defeat, suffering, struggle, and loss are the yeast ingredients that
give rise to the inner growth of the human spirit.
There is a light of
enthusiasm shimmering from the depths of these beautiful people.
There
seems to be a magnetic quality about them that draws us.
Spending time
with those filled with compassion, gentleness, and a loving concern for
others yields a meaningful model by which to live.
Follow the magnet and
enjoy a beautiful friend from whom to learn.
