The fact the strangers can put into a words a thought I've had for ages is comforting.
Excerpt from The Kite Runner:
""She said, 'I'm so afraid.' And I said, "Why?,' and she said, "Because I'm so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness like this is frightening.' I asked her why and she said, 'They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you,' and I said, 'Hush up, now. Enough of this silliness.'"
But of course the happiness of her new child ultimately took her life. The catharsis of this story is incredible.
