Mantra - Together, Lucky, Loved

 

Remember you are not alone
    Focus on your good luck
        Love who you are

... thoughts from "Identical Twins With Two Very Different Destinies" in the New York Times, a personal essay by Amit Majmudar. One of his identical-twin children has a congenital heart defect and must suffer through multiple challenges. Majmudar suggests:

  • think of ideas not as answers to questions, think of them as "tools to quell fear, to avoid bitterness and to build resilience"
  • "Science and faith may seem to contradict each other. As a radiologist, believer and father, I have experienced them as complementary. One contradicts the other no more than a hammer contradicts a screwdriver. Human suffering is too vast, and human experience too diverse, for any one outlook to comprehend or justify it all."
