some amazing definitions from Frederick Buechner's Wishful Thinking
com-pas-sion n. "compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it's like to live inside somebody else's skin. it is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."
con-fes-sion n. "To confess your sins to God is not to tell him anything he doesn't already know. until you confess them, however, they are the abyss between you. when you confess them, they become the bridge."
lust n. "lust is the craving of salt of a man who is dying of thirst."
doubt n. "whether your faith is that there is a God or that there is not a God, if you don't have any doubts you are either kidding yourself or asleep. doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. they keep it awake and moving."
