Two Types of People

Today I was listening to a radio program when I heard something that struck me as very true, and important.

"There are two types of people.  Those who are hurting and those who will hurt."

The radio program was talking about the natural hills and valleys of life.  It was focusing on the fact that all people experience emotional pain at sometime in their lives--at the death of a loved one or friend, or when going through hard times at work or with family. But I thought it also pertained to the physical (and mental) pain of patients that my students will deal with as doctors.  It's true.  Everyone will feel pain at some point.  Emotional and physical pain are natural parts of the cycle of life.
