(D, I hope all health crises are resolved for the best for all.)
The Idea that we suffer to learn lessons ... is hogwash. Pure and simple.
It's a metaphor to school, where there's a cliche that a great gulch separates it from "reality." Wait till you get out in the real world, they say.
Then the "real world" brings suffering and ... lessons!? OK, let's work this metaphor. When is the course final? Do I write a paper? Is there credit for participation? Can I skip class and play? When do I graduate and can get back to school?
All this comes to mind as I'm on the cusp, verge, edge, of dropping a vendor mid-course in their work. They are not listening, not thinking, and not respectful. I suffer at this moment cause I don't know how to find the vendor we need.
I don't know where or how to work my way clear.
