"There is a mindset in the prosperous West that we deserve pain-free, trouble-free existence. When life deals us the opposite, we have a right not only to blame somebody or some system and to feel sorry for ourselves, but also to donate most of our time to coping, so that we have no time or energy left over for serving others."
Taken from 'Roots of Endurance', by John Piper
