[QUOTE="Malika, post: 538873, member: 11227"] Interesting question! Trauma and difficulty and hardship can make people stronger and deeper and (above all) more compassionate. And sometimes they can destroy people - and I think it isn't always within someone's control which camp he or she falls into. Whatever the case, trouble can [B]always[/B] make us more compassionate to others and their humanity and that is a valuable thing. Oh - and me? I would prefer not to have had as much trouble as I have had in my life. I would have preferred to learn things the soft way rather than the hard way. But... one day when I am fully enlightened, I might even be as thankful for the sorrows and losses of my life as for the joys. [/QUOTE]
