Get what I mean? I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't agree with the statement, "God gives the amount of pain that a person can tolerate." I also don't believe that God purposefully gives pain...that's just one's own karma.
I get what mean and don't worry I don't mind you having a different view. We're all different. I'm a believer that whatever happens, happens for the best, whether it is good or bad and that GOD gives you as much as you can handle. God gives us obstacles that brings pain, to make us want to do better and improve. It is his way of testing your capabilities and the faith you have in him. Many succeed while some don't. The ones who keep going, never give up and show true resilience towards problems and pain are the ones who achieve real inner peace because they have faith. The ones who fall prey to suicide or even the thought of it, are unfortunately weak in the mind. It doesn't mean they are not capable of getting out of it, it means that either don't know how to, or that there's not support system or they don't want to, which is another subject all together Sorry I don't mean to preach here, sorry, I'll stop my bak bak but I would love to share this poem with you, it's really inspirational and beautiful and it's so true!Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
You see the last stanza is what I am talking about, it's about what YOU do that matters and HOW you do and HOW much faith YOU have in God and HOW hard you try to fight your obstacles in LIVE your life. LIFE is a most precious gift given to us and we must try to LIVE it fully with utmost gratitude and humility.
