Perception

I was talking to my dear mother earlier.

'would't it be nicer that people didn't suffer so much' she said,
'like with you when you were so depressed and addicted to all kinds of stuff ...
those are not things you realy would want to experience, would you?'

I took some time to pounder the thought and ...

I don't feel it like that.

To me, everything I have experienced has been a gift.
Thanks to all of that,
I am now who I am.
I can help people,
undedstand them,
without judgement.

Yes, sure,
in the middle of the heat,
there is nothing more that you want
than to escape.

But you have to know,
that blistering fires
can produce the strongest metal
and create the finest Instruments.

Is suffering needed?
No.
In essence it is not necessary.
But if you have suffered,
it means some things in your life needed looking at.
Your suffering means,
you haven't found your highest vision yet.
Which basically all boiles down to
Loving yourself more
and trusting life.
Broaden your perspective.
And be happy.

I'd be happy to help :-)
