Accept & Transcend

I haven't read this book yet, but I clearly see I need to.  The more I hear on the news or read in the news or hear about my own flesh & blood, the more I realize people are hurting.  And they need to know that they're not alone.  And that they CAN transcend their pain.  If they want to!!!  In this book, psychiatrist and author, M. SCOTT PECK, said it best:

"Life is difficult.  This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.  It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.  Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult.  Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."
