random thoughts about life and suffering in general
I heard Elisabeth gilbert author of eat,pray & love talk with oprah on her super soul sunday, and something she said about suffering was so right on target. She was saying in life we all go through troubles in life & if we don't learn lesson from it then its just waste of pain. I so agree with it. her idea was any time something unpleasant happening in your life ask two questions what was my part in it ( so take responsibility for your action, so that next time you are mindful about it), and secomd question is what is this lesson trying to teach me. When you learn from your adversity then there is growth in you as a human being. I strongly feel taking responsibility for your actions & learning lessons from it brings immense self growth in person, and few years down the road you can look at the event & realize it made you the person you are proud of. another AHA moment for me.
