Frankly, the deepest pain you'll ever know and the deepest pain I'll ever know is not physical. It's not material. It doesn't have to do with our physical body and it doesn't have to do with our material or economic or circumstantial life patterns. The greatest pain we will ever know is relational. It is the potential of people to devastate us, to destroy us, to abuse us. And apart from internal personal guilt which has to be the greatest pain but that is personal and internal, the most serious pain we suffer in the world comes from unfulfilled and devastated relationships. No disease is as painful as rejection. No disease is as painful as false accusation. No disease is as painful as misrepresentation, betrayal [and] hatred.

"Evasion"
 
 
Driving to work, a gentlman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front of him. Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. Fortunately, another officer had seen the carton in the road. The policmen stopped traffic and recovered the box. It was found to contain large upholstery tacks.
"I'm sorry sir," the first trooper told the driver, "but I am still going to have to write you a ticket."
 
Amazed, the driver asked for what.
 
The trooper replied, "Tacks evasion."
 

"About Half"
 
 
"What's your father's occupation?" asked
the school secretary on the first day of the
new academic year.
 
"He's a magician, Ma'am" said the new boy.
 
"How interesting. What's his favorite trick?"
 
"He saws people in half."
 
"Gosh! Now, next question. Any brothers
or sisters?"
 
"One half brother and two half sisters."
 

"Origins of Food"
 
 
Sarah Kay was studying the origins of foods in kindergarten.  One day,
she and her mother were walking through the grocery store discussing
what ingredients went into various products.  Sarah Kay said, "Pork
comes from pigs and beef comes from cows."  Then she asked, "How DO
they get the pork from the pig, Mommy?"
 
Her mother felt that the truth was the only way to go, so she explained that
they kill the animal to eat its meat. 
 
Horrified Sarah Kay went past shelves staring at the meat
and saying, "They KILLED a cow to get THIS?"  She could not believe it,
and her little heart was broken.
 
Then, they went to the bakery where Sarah Kay began to check out the various
donuts and goodies.  She noticed a beautiful white cake and asked, "Mommy, what is this cake
called?" 
 
Her mother replied, "It's an angelfood cake, honey."
 
Immediately Sarah Kay's eyes filled with big tears and she wailed, "You
mean they KILLED an ANGEL to make this?"
