Now, after having ripped on MySpace, I find a statement on pain from a friend:
But think about it, what if we were always happy? Would we know it? Don’t the times of pain bring out the best in the times of happiness? And don’t the times of pain ultimately bring us back to the ONLY reason the world revolves?
Maybe it’s simplistic, maybe she’s been reading too much C.S. Lewis. It’s probably both. But it’s the truth. In our infinite wisdom, we pray for the good in our lives all the while expecting to never encounter the natural opposite. What a small and foolish person I am, never understanding the true ramifications of anything for which I ask, yet curling my lip when ultimate wisdom is carried out. Perhaps trust is my biggest issue.
