It's not to say that misery is good or needed as such, but if we can learn and grow from it, it does serve a purpose. I also think you are right in that we should all show compassion and understanding for those suffering at any give time. The thought that what you learn from your own misery has a purpose if you can help your friend who is presently suffering, is beautiful. May we all learn from you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-56524107335777697032015-12-07T05:22:04.493-08:002015-12-07T05:22:04.493-08:00Thanks Paula!

I love them, I like peace and quiet, I like them to be happy, but allowing them to suffer the consequences of their bad choices, saying no to amusements that are too much sometimes, not doing more than I should to make their way smooth, even not being as rich as some of their friends are seems to make for happier kids in the long run who I hope will have empathy for other people's pain and hardships and who are beginning to be equipped to deal with the complex hardships of adult life as well. I'm starting to make this comment too long, but I agree. I think hardship can be good for us, is certainly an opportunity to become wiser and more compassionate.anthemsweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419702110074033426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-22181362776587040772015-12-05T12:03:37.841-08:002015-12-05T12:03:37.841-08:00Simply someone who will listen.
