Thanks for sharing

You are most welcome! Sometimes spirituality is hard to quantify and there are not always simple and easy answers, but you should keep asking questions and maintain an inquiring and open mind. Forgive me for sounding so vague and esoteric, but I think the "right" answer you find would come from within you as you live your life. That's how I find mine; just living. :)

Another afterthought for you, Tracey:

There are also people who do not necessarily fixate on the moralistic labels of what is considered "good" or "bad" and how they think the Universe should apply it to situations or circumstances. They perceive reality simply as unfolding without rhyme or reason that makes sense to the human mind. However some of those people might also believe that regardless of not being certain of the "why" some things might happen, they trust that it is always for the benefit for the growth and evolution of the Soul. That is of course, assuming that they believe in a Soul that exist beyond the body and its personality matrix in the first place. :)

I also remembered that my sister had a friend that stayed with my family for a month during her travels. She was born with a congenital disease that you spoke of and half her face was covered in scab-like looking scars that resembles a severe burn. She was one of the most beautiful, lovely, and positive people I have ever met. She also mentioned that she has no desire to get plastic surgery to "fix" it even though she possesses the means to do so. She wears it like a badge of honor and I admire her deeply for her experience and the insight, wisdom, and courage that she lives by every day. Although, she doesn't really think much of it at all.

yeah I never understood how some people can do that -- maybe there's something wrong with me!

There is nothing wrong with you! It's not easy, Tracey. Life is not easy for different reasons for different people. Sometimes there's a lot of inconsolable pain and turmoil during the growth and discovery of something greater beyond ourselves.

For me, it took being completely and utterly broken in spirit writhing in pain in the fetal position more often than I care to admit.

I think what helps me a lot is watching others with insurmountable challenges face them with courage and dignity. I become inspired to utilize what little I do have and in my power to create as much beauty and love as I can before I leave the planet.

At this point, there is no longer any question or wondering about what is fair or what isn't fair. Such queries doesn't matter and I spend my time focusing on the gifts that I do have and the blessings that I have received in spite of the horrific challenges and pain that I have endured.

Be gentle and patient with yourself. You are intrinsically precious, beautiful, and powerful. Your happiness is always within your grasp no matter what happens on the outside and in the external world. Find that SPARK within you so that you can nurture it and let it ROAR. At least that has been my lesson and journey. :)

*Big Hugs*

Why not regard the statement of Christ the Lord Himself?
"In this world you will have tribulation. But BE OF GOOD CHEER, for I have overcome the world."

Yes, it's true. God loves you!

As always, interested in reading your viewpoints :)


When good people get into bad company, this can mark the entry of bad things for them.

Bad company can be negative people, books, places with negative energy...

Intuition can help a lot in avoiding negativity in life.
