an ardent fan of smallville that i am, a quote that came up on one of the episodes a couple of weeks back seems to have been “etched” in my mind…

“… the lessons we learn from pain, are the ones that make us the strongest.”

it’s not just the line. if you rehearse it a couple of times in your mind, you’ll perceive the true essence of the quote!

CHILD, how happy you are sitting in the dust, playing with a broken twig all the morning.
I smile at your play with that little bit of a broken twig.
I am busy with my accounts, adding up figures by the hour.
Perhaps you glance at me and think, “What a stupid game to spoil your morning with!”
Child, I have forgotten the art of being absorbed in sticks and mud-pies.
I seek out costly playthings, and gather lumps of gold and silver.
With whatever you find you create your glad games, I spend both my time and my strength over things I never can obtain.
In my frail canoe I struggle to cross the sea of desire, and forget that I too am playing a game.

- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) : Playthings
