I'm starting to think nothing in this world—at least the way it's presented to us—is real. The level of absurdity just continues to increase.
"So you're going through a painful experience? No problem, just remember - you're ascending!"
Ha! Reminds me of a book, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You. Actually a really good book. The title is mostly meant to be sarcastic.
Personally, I don't think either a positive (I'm racking up my karma points!) or negative (life sucks, why is everything so unfair, everything used to be so much better) interpretation of pain/trauma is particularly useful. Sometimes valuable lessons can be gained from upsetting experiences (like forcing you to deal with something you'd been putting off), but ascension is way too nebulous of a concept for me. Usually it comes down to two choices -- deal with it, or say "it is what it is" and move on.
New religious movement right there.
We can add sparkles later.
Thanks for your input! 😃
Yes, gotta have the sparkles!
