ONE LESSON...

"One lesson we need to grasp is of the nature of struggle. The nature of any struggle is pain. There is no way around it. One does not exist without the other. However, the goal of all meaningful struggle is to prepare individuals within groups to overcome even greater pain in pursuit of self-determination. For pain is not the enemy. It is the teacher. Only through the struggle with pain are warriors tempered to remove the enemy, within and without."
