Dear Ami,
... my M saying,"Don't bother to call to tell me you arrived safely, I'll hear if the plane crashes(lol).
Gosh, honestly, I can hear my M saying something like that, and has done in the past. Thinking back, my M always had a certain morbid inclination in her choice of illustrations and expression. I am wondering now, if that is significant, or not.
I am seeing how ,if a person suffers, as we do with an NM, we get deeper and more compassionate.
Certainly does seem to be the way it goes, having read numerous life story accounts - maybe, also, suffering brings a deeper understanding and compassion of, and for, humanity. That said, there are those of whom have not suffered, and have such qualities. Interesting thought to ponder.
There is s/thing that does happen to people who suffer IF they can come out of it,intact, which does not happen,always, or even ,often. However, when it does, there is a beauty that comes from suffering, which is not there ,without it.
I understand what you are saying, what you mean, and as such, do you think, perhaps, the beauty comes from the sense of peace that then resides within?
Love to you,
Leah
