Surprises
“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Forrest Gump

“Bah,” said Scrooge, “Humbug.”
Sometimes an excessive sense of justice or an obsession with making money, can prohibit the possibility of forgiveness and compassion….

“I would ask you to believe that he has a heart he very, very seldom reveals, and that there are deep wounds in it. My dear, I have seen it bleeding.” Charles Dickens, Tale of Two Cities

“The cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him.”(Charles Dickens, “Tale of Two Cities”)
