Yes, some of the stuff I've had to recover from in order to free-up my energy and live happily has resulted in some important understandings. For instance, as a father I learned about certain things not to do and certain ways not to be from my own father's behavior.
Also, after untangling and healing from being the recipient of bad-faith or betrayal types of behavior from people whom I considered friends, my understanding of what
real friendship is was made very clear.
Healing, forgiving, and understanding of people and situations is very important. But understanding of what good-faith and compassionate behavior actually is is also very important.
