Question

I feel so AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL......?
Can somebody NOW tell me that EVERYTHING that happens is MEANT TO BEhappens for a reason?

Answer

Hey dear Enki! Cheer up. Nothings meant to be. But it happens. Certainly we should do what we can to change what we can change but those things we cant change we must live with. Thats life. And whilst it is constructive to empathise with others, it is inappropriate to take on personally the anguish of the whole wide world or selectively only what is closest. Anyway dear lad, its usually a sign of projection why do you need to feel so bad? What in yourself are you grieving for? As it happens, quotawfulquot seems inappropriate in this case. So far on the news it seems relatively few were killed on the Minneapolis Bridge to ? and the kids on the bus escaped Hundreds die every week in Iraq thousands weekly in South Africa Palestinians have suffered for decades most of it avoidable with wiser policies in the West, especially USA and so it goes. Perhaps you can understand why, having lived through World War with survivors of World War , and the London Blitz, etc, I found the American response to quotquot rather infantile and narcissistic. I grieved for those innocent victims but in perspective. There is so much to grieve for in human history. I think we should identify with all of it, and not merely for whatever is closest to identify with. But dont pay the bill alone. Know you have company. As we used to say in Oz quotDip yer lid and move onquot. To change what you can, and endure what you cant. It was a saying from the Ozzies in the slaughter of Gallipoli and Flanders
