So if there weren’t the crises, we’d have no ability to overcome them? Sort of like the thinking that says you can’t understand what it is to be truly happy unless you’ve also experienced sadness and/or suffering. Very pithy quote.

  And if we don’t talk/write about the crises, we also can’t talk about overcoming them! We need the villains to have the heroes too.
