Life's Greatest Lesson.
A lot of you know this quote:
The most [b]Damaged[/b] people - are the [b]Wisest[/b]
The [b]Loneliest[/b] people - are the [b]Kindest[/b]
The [b]Saddest[/b] people - Smile the [b]Brightest[/b]
Then I started thinking.. How can I add more...:
The most [b]Complicated[/b] people - are [b]Honest[/b]
The [b]Shyest[/b] people - are the [b]Silliest[/b]
The most [b]Foolish[/b] people - are the [b]Smartest[/b]
The [b]Weakest[/b] people - are the [b]Bravest[/b]
Because life's greatest lesson is learned through pain.

I wouldn't quite say life lessons always require pain, at least not directly. Give someone enough time to observe, interact and mature, and they'll eventually find wisdom and understanding as they learn to empathize and connect with those living creatures and the world around them. However, facing hardship first-hand and learning to take positive lessons and experiences from them can potentially accelerate that process. Though, on the other hand, it could also break them or push them into the opposite direction, turning the soul cold and cynical. (For those who don't believe in the soul, take that statement metaphorically.) I can agree the the bulk of the ego is forged by circumstance. However, perception plays a large role in circumstance. Even the darkest of clouds can have a beautiful silver lining to them, if the eye can perceive it.
