In the past 5 years, I went through the most painful experiences of my life, and my childhood was none to easy either (father who provided well but was an addict, etc.). The family breakup, due to strange and almost supernatural circumstances, being "swatted" by my straying, borderline ex, losing our house, job, etc. Wow.
Strangely, that forced me to really take spirituality seriously. And to take the divine seriously, and approach it, think about it, experience it. I feel, in many ways, far more robust and "anti-fragile" than I was before. And able to experience the sense that the world is alive, and that there are some (a minority) of real souls out there, worth spending time or energy with. But yes - pain seems to be sort of a forge that either destroys the metals put in it, or refines them. Only my 3rd post on this forum. It's a great alternative to social media. Seems like good souls. -Tides of Truth
