MDJunction to me

suebaby41"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

They say "What does not kill you makes you stronger"

But why? How does a person take the bad things and make them positive? Is there a reason for evil?

I was talking with my best friends about this and found it helpful, since my biggest problem has been that it seems that evil has no reason. The innocent die and suffer senselessly sometimes.

This is what we came up with:

1. To learn forgiveness

2. To understand the motivations of people

3. When you know evil, you can better appreciate true love and friendship and their gifts: fidelty, compassion,

4. The contrast of life and death is more stark. Art, music, dance are expressions of life and can be appreciated better. The soul that has been burdened is stronger and lifts higher towards heaven when freed.

5.The simple things in life can be appreciated better: nature, family, food, quiet.

6. To know yourself

Maybe you all have more?
