THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU
All human beings share one thing in common: they all had an experience that they consider "the worst thing that ever happened to them."
In some cases, it was done to you, in others, its what you did to others. For others still it was not caused by a person but by fate or circumstance.
And we feel sad, and we feel shame, and anger and despair, all these powerful emotions.
We may pound our fists onto the earth and shout "God, or Universe, or whatever You are! How could you let this happen towards me, or through me onto others? My God! Is there anybody listening at all? Why, Universe, Why?!"
And our emotion flows out. Our fists get tired of pounding the ground, our tears dry up, and the great storm in our hearts and minds comes to a calm.
But this is The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To You so the time will come that you will be consumed by torment again, and yet again...
But something changes.
As you blow off steam, let your emotions crackle like lightning, bit by bit that thunderstorm in your heart and mind rains out, thunder and tears, and then.. It clears.
Then you get over it. It still is a painful memory but, it doesn't consume you anymore. It is the worst thing that ever happened to you, and every new day it is 24 hours longer ago.
Your strength comes back. You even find that you become in some ways stronger than before it happened.
You lived through The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To You and you have grown stronger from the suffering and wiser by many life lessons learned because of it.
God, the Universe, inflicts your suffering with sadness, in hope that you will overcome it, that you will learn from it and for where you were wrong, for you in some way to make amends, as much as is possible.
God, The Universe, wants you to grow. God, The Universe wants you to improve. God, The Universe wants the best for you
Please forgive God, The Universe, the worst thing that ever happened to you and please atone and make amends for the worst thing you ever did, in any way that is possible.
God, The Universe, is PURE LOVE And Love sometimes Hurts like nothing else.
Heal. Grow. Improve.
A better world starts with you.
any thoughts?

One of the nicest plants I ever grew was nearly completely chewed off by deer very close to flowering season. It was one of the first plants I took off and had one of the thickest root systems out of all of them. It's hard to remember but things can change just as drastically one way as it can the other, it's just you gotta keep your heart open to those possibilities. I had faith in that little fucker, and it didn't steer me wrong any more than any other time. I think a lot of people struggle with separating faith, belief, and craziness. But I think once enough dots are connected it gets a lot easier to see the horizon beyond the trees. You might even stop needing to see it at all. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself, I am here, now. How can I make the most of it? I think even without faith that's something everyone can get behind. The only problem is - and I'm using problem as a very human concept - sometimes that right thing might be to experience, no matter how bad, so as to teach. It might be to cry. It might be to fill your soul with the things that stir it. The best part is that at that point you've really already found your purpose.

As you know "God" and "Universe" are the same thing for me so what consititutes Faith is different for me than for many others.
Ultimately we have to make sense of our experiences but "This Too, Shall Pass" is a comforting point when addressing the worst thing that ever happened to people.
I've been through a lot of bad experiences, and it helped me that I early on realized that each of these catastrophies had a beginning, a middle where you hit rock bottom, and an end.
Even if your mother dies horribly, or you get a heart attach or you get atrociously abused, each event is a cycle and once you've been through the worst its only uphill from there.

It's always a matter of perspective, isn't it?
Seems to me that most often, for most people, the Worst Thing remains just that; an event in life which was the point at which the 'glory days' were ripped forcefully away, leaving a path through hellishness and suffering behind with no end in sight.
And yet, on rare occasions, we meet one who has been through their Worst Thing, and has not only healed and recovered from it; but has used the experience to shape their wings and build up speed and thrust, so that they can soar higher than ever might have been imagined prior to it. As such, it becomes the Best Thing through a perspective shift.
I wish I knew what the secret was between why most choose the former and only some the latter path - for I know many still plagued by their Worst Thing - but alas, it seems the secret is not mine to share..
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Having to see this thread.
Sorry Asante for being a shitter. I'm not sure if I've had anything truly bad happen. It's rough right now for me but only the future can determine how bad it can get or ever was.
Also the Lord's Prayer is a powerful one..
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
