"The Cross"
A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, dropped to
his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy of a
cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place
your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any
cross you wish." The man was filled with relief said, "Thank you, Lord," and
he did as he was told.

Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses; some so large the
tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far
wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.

And the Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and
see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more
fortunate than you imagined.

Jeg har altid fundet den livsfilosofi lidt sær.

Det, at visse andre har det værre end mig, gør vel ikke mine problemer
mindre og mindre vigtige end de er?

Det er vel altid godt at få sat tingene i perspektiv. Dette fungerr jo også
i praksis, når nogle vender hjem fra et UL eller en krigszone og skal høre
på deres svigermors evige dagligdagsfortrædeligheder el.lign.

Bestemt, jeg havde da også en tid, hvor jeg havde det sådan, efter at
jeg var i Sovjet i 1992, men efter at have overvejet det måtte jeg
acceptere, at jeg måtte gøre det, jeg nu kunne herfra, men at mine
egne problemer altså stadig eksisterede.

At forsmå dine problemer med at forstå kvinders sælsomme tankegang,
bare fordi der er folk, der dør af sult i Afrika, giver ikke mening.
