there are lessons in everything. sometimes painful to the physical but important to remember that the physical is temporary and not real.
lessons are found both in the learning and the doing. The doing is what makes the learning more substantial and meaningful.
then you are failing to learn what you came to learn in this life. That means you will have to repeat the lessons.
by belief I mean your understanding that you are an eternal soul here to learn lessons. If worldly beliefs help you learn your lessons and your life works for you, then have at it.
get involved. share information. persist. the alternative is not pretty so surrender is not an option. I would rather die a free man than live as slave on my knees.
