Learning from TV (#5) - Brothers and Sisters (Season 1)

Sarah (played to perfection by the superb Rachel Griffiths) was having her session with her shrink talking on her problems in marriage.

[Sarah]:

Why can't you say anything?

One thing to make this feel better?

[Shrink]:

There are not short cuts, Sarah.

In life or in love.

This pain must be felt.

The alternative is much worse.

It's what makes us special, what makes us beautiful, what makes us worthy.

The pain of how we love.

But that pain is accompanied by something else, isn't it?

Hope.

With your pain, there's hope.

And that is where you are.

Somewhere between agony and optimism and prayer.

So, you're human.

You're alive.

And that's what we have.

Come back tomoorrow. We'll go on.

(yeah... so true. and shrink earned so much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
