But there are many with scars that do not heal properly. If you are one of those people, there is help available and I hope and pray that you seek out the help that you need, so that you can live the rest of your life.
Every scar has a story to tell, not only of injury but also of healing. For the past 30 years or so, I’ve had a saying that goes, “If you get through life without any scars, you didn’t live.”
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

Sometimes people have no control over the scars that are inflicted upon them.

This is surprising; I would have expected Pig to choose the non-scarring route, a life of nothing but cheese and ignorance.

Scars prove that we have lived.

You can get scars from movies and soap operas you watch, unless you watch scar free movies.

Truly wise insightful advise. Wise insightful choice by Pig.
Is Stephan on vacation? Just kidding. Seriously … who did today’s strip?

Always throws me a bit when this strip contains actual wisdom and profundity. I like it, but I never expect it.

The question is better phrased as: Should you stay in bed all day or dare getting out?

A bunch of little scars, helps you cope with the bigger ones that come later.

Freaking hilarious! Typing “Wise a** on the hill” brings on the GoComics censor.
I demand that GoComics censor their cartoonists to the exact same standards that they censor commenters!
