I Don't Know What I am Supposed to be Learning

Yes, indeed. After so many, they leave 'learning experience' far behind, don't they? These types who say such things are the same ones making six-digit salaries for doing nothing but lie.

I understand you went through a lot of tough times. Life has ups and downs and is full of surprises. I wish you happiness and good luck in the days and years ahead.

Everything, good or bad, is an experience . . . I "suppose" we can always learn, but yah, PHOOEY on the learning part. We already know what the bad feels like . . . it's draining and it gets old. We just want to get through it and have it behind us.

I take things in my stride. We all have to face challenges

This is one of those things where people try to put a positive spin on events that are less than positive

I get where you're coming from, but I think it depends on how you view hardship. Personally, I think there's no need to keep learning the same lessons over and over. Once you've been through the grind, it’s more about moving forward, not just learning from the struggle. Sometimes, it feels like you're stuck in a loop, and that can get frustrating.

We experience hardship in life due to several reasons. It can be due to failure in relationships, finances, illness in the family, legal matters and a lot more. We don't know when it could happen to us, no one knows. We may be very careful and everything we do as planned but for just one mistake, either us or someone from the family, something could happen that will break everything we've been saving for a long time. Life has ups and down, and for me, the best that I could do is to stay humble and to be kind always. We should not forget to thank the Lord for everything and when things go wrong, we should not forget that He is always there for us.

I agree with you, Oshy. Some lessons seem redundant.

I don't know what to say that would be of any help. I'll just send some virtual hugs.
