If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers. — The Old Curiosity Shop

My Take – In order for you to be good at what you do, you have to practice.  Every emergency room doctor who does wonders got that way through easing the suffering of untold numbers of patients.  A police officer who not only finds the bad guys but also knows how to make things better in his area learned how to do that by dealing with the worst that our society can offer on a daily basis.  The EMS guy who knows just how to talk to his patients and how to keep them on this side of death until they get to the ER got that way by wading through years of accidents, overdoses, and illnesses.  Yes, we lionize those who do their jobs well, especially when their jobs are unpleasant.  But we should never forget just what those people have to go through in order to get that good.
