I like the quote better if I change "anecdotes" to "antidotes".
<blockquote> 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</blockquote>

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?
Gratefully,
Rob

anecdote |ˈanikˌdōt| noun
*a short and amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person: told anecdotes about his job | he had a rich store of anecdotes.
* an account regarded as unreliable or hearsay: his wife's death has long been the subject of rumor and anecdote.

*ORIGIN late 17th cent.: from French, or via modern Latin from Greek anekdota ‘things unpublished,’ from an- ‘not’ + ekdotos, from ekdidōnai ‘publish.’
