"suffering patiently"
Hmm, say that to sick children (of all kinds).
I see your point about growing stronger thru suffering, but there are different kind of injuries and life injustice where it just doesn't apply.
Breaking your arm is different than being paralyzed from top to bottom or being blind.
- sdegutis 12y agoIn the context from which I speak, all injustices are righted in the end. So yes, it should be said even to children, to the dying, to anyone who is suffering even severe injustices for seemingly no reason.
- petegrif 12y agoThat must be a great comfort to them. But what an empty context to speak from that reduces all ills to events that will be 'righted in the end.'
- Dylan16807 12y agoI wouldn't say that anything in death and beyond can truly right the wrongs that happen in life. Also suffering has a very damaging effect on character in many people.
- silencio 12y agoMy (sensory) neuropathy is total peanuts in comparison to being paralyzed but I still wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It does not build character in any way. It eats away at me because the pain is so hard to control. No amount of anything in the afterlife is going to balance this out. All I can do is wait it out and try everything thrown at me to see what might stick. The idea that I'm supposed to sit around and take it - because faith! - is quite frankly deeply offensive.
