I learned a life lesson recently

A broken bone hurts whether you’re a saint or a sinner.
A hurricane destroys homes without checking who “deserved” it.
Death comes for everyone, no matter how kind, cruel, rich, or poor.
These events don’t carry moral weight by themselves. They simply are. We add meaning afterward.

Often times we are trying to search for meaning in our suffering. There is no meaning, there is no reason, it just is.

Absolutely agree suffering cannot be justified; part of life though is finding ways to learn from it as it occurs

@DeluxedEdition thanks for saying that I’ve had more than my fair share of suffering. Now I’ve learned from (and continue to earn from) it. Unfortunately someone along the way didn’t do their job so now I’m stuck in a place of largely helplessness. Thank god for family. In time it will all work out to I’ll get what i deserve
