I've written be...Congrats for recognizing this. I've written before that the biggest tragedy is enduring travails without acquiring a dab of higher perspective. It's like the gold ring at the end of a given ride.<br /><br />The world is not a torture device. The gods are not disrupting your plans and thwarting your desires out of sadism. Everything, without exception, is perfectly tailored to teach exactly what we need to know. It's ok that we naturally resist the lessons. There's no sin in failing to approach life as a perfectly playful and equanimous surfer 100% of the time. But when someone sludges their way through tragedy without letting their shell crack even a little bit, I can only pity their stubbornly blinkered persistence.Jim Leffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007232702717055047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-75734455339241110862017-12-16T13:13:37.756-05:002017-12-16T13:13:37.756-05:00from a widow, you nailed it.from a widow, you nailed it.teejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335074877948719203noreply@blogger.com
