_she had nothing to do but to forgive herself and be happier than ever_
Not everything._ Lily takes a deep breath and begins to pace the room. __ot everything, because you aren__. It may feel like you are, and I totally get it, I really do. The world feels like it__ crumbling around you, and it makes you feel like you__e broken too, but, Jules, you aren__. You are more than this, you__e more than this, this- stupid planet, this stupid country. They__e reacting to what they think you are, but it doesn__ make it true._ She preaches like it hurts her, and I recognize in the back of my mind that this is what she hasn__ told herself yet. And still she offers it to me.

Now you see. We are all fugitives. We have always been fugitives from the void. Whatever comfort, whatever power we gain from outside of ourselves diminishes us -- because comfort and power, unless they are won from the void inside of us, are illusions that make us forget the emptyness that carries us. When we forget that, we believe we deserve comfort and power and so are capable of any evil. We deserve nothing but what we make of ourselves. We deserve nothing else. And when we understand that, then nothing is enough.
Because tragedy happened to you, it gives you a greater sense of oneness with others who experience tragedy. Because we have been comforted through the Word of God, we in turn may be able to comfort others.
