The Value of Wounds

Experiencing wounds, whether emotional or physical, is an inherent part of life that can lead to personal growth and enlightenment. The notion that the wound is where the light enters suggests that suffering can ultimately enhance one’s awareness and understanding. For example, after losing a child, the speaker found healing through the presence of grandchildren, highlighting how light can emerge from deep pain. This theme reiterates that one does not feel whole unless they acknowledge and learn from their wounds.
