Affliction

 Every human being has an affliction—big or small. It’s inevitable in a living world driven by the randomness of evolution and the improbabilities of life.  An affliction could be a mental illness, a physical illness, a disability, a phobia, a perversion, an obsession or an addiction that would come with birth or from the sheer activity of living.

Recognizing this teaches us to be humble in our understanding of others. It also requires us to rise above victimhood and deal with the particulars of our own lives. I’ve been able to manage mine, and I hope the same for you.
