Our Love Affliction Cures

More From Jonathan Safran Foer

The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
Grieving Funeral Bereavement
We burned with love for ourselves, all of us, starters of the fire we suffered- our love was the affliction for which only our love was the cure.
Fire Affliction Our Love
And what physicians say about disease is applicable here: that at the beginning a disease is easy to cure but difficult to diagnose; but as time passes, not having been recognized or treated at the outset, it becomes easy to diagnose but difficult to cure. the same thing occurs in affairs of state; for by recognizing from afar the diseases that are spreading in the state (which is a gift given only to the prudent ruler), they can be cured quickly; but when, not having been recognized, they are not recognized and are left to grow to the extent that everyone recognizes them, there is no longer any cure.
Physicians Disease Afar
A great many people wonder why it was that christ did not come at once to martha and mary, whom he loved, whenever he heard of their affliction. it was to try them, and it is the same with his dealings toward us. if he seems not to come to us in our affliction, it is only to test us.

As we have said, robust souls are sometimes almost, but not entirely, overthrown by strokes of misfortune....despair has steps leading upward. from total depression we rise to despondency, from despondency to affliction, from affliction to melancholy. melancholy is a twilight state in which suffering transmutes into a somber joy....melancholy is the enjoyment of being sad.
Twilight Joy Being Sad
The cure is care. caring for others is the practice of peace. caring becomes as important as curing. caring produces the cure, not the reverse. caring about nuclear war and its victims is the beginning of a cure for our obsession with war. peace does not comes through strength. quite the opposite: strength comes through peace. the practices of peace strengthen us for every vicissitude. . . . the task is immense!

Similar Quotes
One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. love is whimsical and temperamental. its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. it comes when it pleases,and goes away without warning. accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. worry will never bring it back.
Love Is Worry Warning
I don't object to its being called "mcnamara's war." i think it is a very important war and i am pleased to be identified with it and do whatever i can to win it.

Wars may be fought by decent men, but they're not won by them.

Courteous reader, astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and the great. formerly, no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight in battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer.
