We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it – and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again… but also, she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
Mark TwainA direct reflection of the second scariest prayer:
God, please don’t let me out of this situation until I learn exactly what I’m supposed to learn here.
