Sorry for the Dickens reference but it is my favorite story. So many pertinent lessons.
Magwitch is the bane and terror of young Pip's life, he then becomes the founder of his fortune and ultimately it is Able Magwitch who turns him into a strong, mature, compationate man who lives a happy and full life.
Yet at the beginning he was an ugly, violent terrifying monster. No good could possibly have come from him and his interaction with Pip. I wonder about the terrifying monsters in our lives. Can they become the catalyst for a full and happy life? In my good moments that is how I feel about the current crisis. Unimaginably ugly and scary but perhaps ultimately grinding my life into something good.
