Any part of you that wants you to feel bad, angry, or sorry for yourself, including whatever thoughts it may call on to justify why you must ache, is a secret partner of the very pain it resists.

Part 1 Negative assumptions precede the appearance of a disturbing fear, much in the same way as a chill in the wind comes before the storm that it heralds.
