Dallas Willard quote

I just love Dallas Willard's teachings.  A quote from tonight:

"We live in America where it is a sin to suffer. It is a sin not to be just flowing with pleasure and joy al the time. That's stupid. It's okay to suffer. It's okay to be in pain... and in fact much of the suffering in America comes from the pain of not being able to suffer. And the acceptance of suffering and pain... will cut the quantity of it by a tremendous degree."
