Do the same.

I am not far from the truth, eh?? *do tell*... :-)

I'm sure you're having big fun, but just in case...

I guess I'm not real clear on your obsession with suffering and pain as some kind of spiritual objective. It isn't. I feel like I'm painting the obvious here, but it isn't that suffering is the objective. Spiritual clarity is the objective. Sometimes, this happens during periods of suffering and pain, just as fire sometimes burns away the wood to reveal the steel beneath.

It's not about the suffering. It's about the spiritual clarity. Sometimes people even reach such clarity without the suffering. With some, you don't get their attention without it. Dunno why. Not my problem.
