       We are angry with God. Angry at others. Angry at the world. Upset with life in general. This doesn’t help us, and it doesn’t help anybody else. The beautiful thing is, behind every life-trial is a precious awareness to be learned. Now, I know, that doesn’t sound too hot at first glance. You might say, “I don’t want to learn anything new. I’ve been through school and learned enough.” Yes, but unfortunately, really I should say fortunately, we still have much to learn. Yes, there is always something new to be taught. Sometimes within a trial it is not obvious what that awareness is. Sometimes pinpointing it can be painful. If we are a prideful person, a trial can take a big hammer smack at our pride, and a big piece of it falls of (if we let it). Sometimes we learn that we need to be more aware of others, and what they are thinking. Another thing is that we need to learn that life is fragile, and we may need to take it more seriously.
