It is by those who have suffered that the world has been advanced.—Leo Tolstoy
Philip Yancey, in his book Where Is God When it Hurts, says that without pain we would never truly appreciate joy and pleasure. When we are in the midst of suffering or experiencing triggers from our trauma, this is not our first thought. Suffering can cause the strongest atheist to cry out to God to make it stop, and cause those with stalwart faith to question God's character and become angry with him.
