Sometimes in my awareness of disease and its ramifications in my life and in the life of others, I want to believe there is something worthy in it. Going through the daily emotional turmoil and discomfort has to mean something doesn't it? People say it builds character or it teaches lessons. Others say it is a result of our dis'ease' with who we are or, even, that we willed it upon ourselves. And, there is the belief that it brings us to a belief in God, a source greater than who we are.
We all suffer at some point and get sick -- meaning that no one is immune. Seems safe to say that there is learning as a result. It's the essence of the learning that one has to examine. And in the examination of your condition, whoever you are, what are you learning? Who are you becoming as a result? Perhaps therein lies the answer as to why.
Call it a learning life? This awareness of illness, pain, and suffering? I suppose the ultimate 'knowing' will empower you, if only to 'know' you don't want illness any longer. Wow, that's a powerful change of perspective...
