SNIP Yes, this is true. Human beings tend to be complacent. We are affected by tamas/inertia. Misery is a catalyst to change our course--to move on in a spiritual sense. > And > in the history of mankind also, we can see that > misery inspired many great men to become what they > became. SNIP Truly!!! Just think, even in the course of mundane life, nearly every modern convenience that we have was developed because persons were suffering. We have medicine because of disease. We have automobiles to ease our problems with transportation. We have heating, cooling and clothing to help us to exist amidst heat and cold. From this, we see that we develop and evolve due to the negativity in our existence. Love, michael ===== What man makes let man prescribe. What God makes let God prescribe.
