Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. Make a bet.
Paulo Coelho

A boat is safe in the harbor. But this is not the purpose of a boat.

Everything will happen as was written by the Lord, replied the prophet. There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason.
