A Spoonful of Medicine Helps the Sugar Go Down

Strife gives meaning to life.

That was the advice I gave to my wife while she was working on one of her books, "Tom's Song". Something was missing in the story and we discovered that Tom needed to explore a darker side of life. So, she made him a homeless beggar boy.

Sorry Tom, my bad.

But it made him and the story stronger and more meaningful. Much as it does for people in the real world.
