Suffering

The sufferings, trauma and losses that we experience in life that create vacuous holes and deep wounds in our souls, when faced in faith, hope and love, shape our personalities in a very beautiful way, making us more compassionate, wise and strong, and connecting us more deeply with the entire human family that shares in these sufferings.  Life has a raw edge of pain. People vary in their sensitivity to this raw edge of pain. [Some of the most sensitive we label mentally ill.] It causes some to hate; others to love.
