Pain

I believe that pain forces people into one of two attitudes:


It can humble us and enlarge our compassion for others, whose pain we had not previously comprehended.


Or it can lead to bitterness, self-pity, envy, and the seeking for company in misery.


Christ is the example of the first.  Lucifer is the example of the second.


See Alma 62:41.
