Learning, Growth, and Pain

M. Scott Peck:

"Those things that hurt, instruct."

"My assertion that this world is an ideal environment for human learning suggests the possibility that it might have been constructed by God for that purpose... we're here to learn and be prepared."

"While we cannot create our own souls, we can steward them well or badly. In the choice we make to grow, we can become cocreators of ourselves, whereas when we resist growth, we are rejecting the role of being cocreator with God."

"Those who are most healthy learn not to dread but to actually welcome problems."
