In some sense everything is a "gift" because all the lessons we learn lead us to some ultimate spiritual goal. That said, I don't think "gift" is the best word and prefer "lesson" instead.
Would you apply the word "gift" to any horrible genocide/natural disaster that has happened? Perhaps you would, but for most people, "Lesson" will resonate better.
- virtualwhys 13y agoThis struck a chord. Maybe lesson is the better word, but gift rings true for me in my experience. I wouldn't call suffering a lesson, it just is; that is the gift, the whole thing.
