On God, the Beginning, and the Argument for Morality
Truly, I hold all truths lightly for I recognize the infinitesimal portion of myself in the scope of all things. And yet I seek that which I do not believe I can find and on occasion stumble across thoughts that I imagine may hold a speckle of truth within them.

From Surviving to Growing: Post-Traumatic Growth in Addiction Recovery
Addiction is often born from pain—not just physical or emotional pain in the present, but unhealed wounds from the past.

This is what we call post-traumatic growth (PTG).
