The best is only bought at the cost of great pain

I remember very clearly the words father Ralph told Meggie : for the best is only at the cost of great pain. Is it what life really is? What's your opinion my dear?

I think there is a lot of very deep truth in that statement. The more I think of it the more I realize how true that statement is. Please elaborate more on why and how you think that is true? You have certainly thought about it much longer than I have. Though it's the first time I see that statement, I have come across that idea before, though never spent too much time thinking about it. But that statement opens my eyes to so much more. I will return here and write more later. By the way, who is Ralph and who is Meggie?

Hi! I think I saw that movie or a drama series called "The Thorn Birds" with Richard Chamberlain (spelling?) many years ago. I think it was about a priest that fell in love with a woman. Is it that one? I will look into it more, thanks. Why I think that statement is so true is that God to repurchase sinful man had to sacrifice his dearest son. A great price that brought so much gain to mankind. What do you think?
