Ha ha! I want to be her too, Lily!

Maha you haven’t posted something like this in a long time and I was starting to worry that you were going to stop writing about this sort of stuff.

This is one of those psots I’ll keep coming back to. I’m so happy that I read you……..so happy

I think anyone who meets you is lucky if this is where you end up in your head. I wish more people had this strehgth, I wish I did because I do regret some things in my life but I’ll keep coming back to this to try and change that. Everything you wrote makes sens.e

hugs,
Maria

Excellent post with a lot of thought provoking meat to it.

I agree with Maria. It is nice to see you post something like this again.

Fucking hell. I’d like to think I’m strong enough but I don’t know.

I’ve bookmarked this entry. I like the idea that regret is irresponsible to ourselves.

re – things that happen for a reason that we have no control over….what about things that leave one permanently physically disabled and the therefore subject of riticule of others? How does one deal with that – how is the pain from that supposed to help others? – especially when it has perhaps been going on for most of that person’s life. Just asking. Not trying to be a smartass.

Hey Anonymous. Thanks for your comment – I know fully well that you’re not being a smartass

I don’t know how to answer your question, because that’s where it gets difficult. More importantly, I am a fully healthy girl, alhamdullilah, so it feels like any answer I may attempt to give wouldn’t come from a place of honesty or even a place that would give me the right to answer…

Your question is one I was actually asking myself a few days back > I was in the theatre and I watched as a group of very young children came in together, all of them having something physically different. My immediate reaction was ‘why’? And…the only thing that comes to my mind, for someone with my belief system is that sometimes there are no answers. And we have to accept that.

And that may very well be one of the most difficult things a human has to deal with. We like answers; we are curious by nature and by right – as that is a part of free will.

But the bottom line is, we don’t have all of the answers. In fact, we don’t have maybe more thann 5% of the answers. That’s just a part of this life. We will never have the answers. And we can choose to either be angry with that, or accept it and work within it. It’s another choice.

I know the above doesn’t give you anything…except perhaps more to think about…

As for people ridiculing others – they’re fucking assholes. That’s it…there’s no more and there’s no less to that part of your question.

Thanks again for looking at the most difficult of questions and I do hope you come back

All my respect,
Maha
