I like the quote better if I change "anecdotes" to "antidotes".

Each of you have traits that are annoying to other people. This is a wonderful opportunity to practice your sense of humor, because each of you are so precious - such children - and you all mean so well. Irritations are almost like anecdotes; they can make people more beloved to others. When you truly have a sense of spiritual joy within you, then these irritations fall away. - Olfana

Hello Russ!

Thank you for sharing your thought! We should check with Jim to be sure, but I enclose here a "definition" of anecdote that could warrant its present usage. However, I like to defer to the 'source' for such conundrums even while recording individual considerations in the lesson's discussion page.

Jim and any others?

Gratefully,

Rob
