Suffering is good for the soul. Without suffering we would glide through life “on top” and our egos would grow and grow. We would feel we are better than , more worthy than – resulting in a false sense of individualism, resulting in selfishness. Can you feel the plight of the homeless because you’ve recently lost your job? Can you feel the pain and heartache of the widow because you’ve felt the sting of separation from your lover? Can you hold your children more tightly, cherishing them, as you help in another’s fight against cancer? The message and the law of one is vital to the survival of the species. The mightiest have fallen and the ground has been shaking so that we may focus away from self and toward the law of collective oneness.
