From the mind of critic: “If what doesn’t killus makes us stronger, and we go through many near death experiences, are we the strongest person alive? Does the thick skin incubated, make us more joyful people? Does succeeding over adversity, persecution and racism guarantee emotional strength? Do selfinflicted roadblocks provide more learning experiences, than roadblocks inflicted from the outside? Is changing our reaction to a certain event, what gives us strength? Many of us have been told that we have to go through the bad stuff, to get to the good stuff. That to be truly grateful for what we have, we must see how bad things can get. All of us get reached in different ways, some of us need gory details of the extremes, just to find the middle. Some of us only need to feel love and support around us to propel us to acheive anything. Once we realize that lonliness alone can’t bring us love, and racism alone can’t bring us unity, we’ll see that it’s not the actions we have no control over that stear our destiny, it’s our reactions to darkness that drives us toward the light. Knowing what inner darkness feels like, is the first step in not allowing ourselves to go there.” 🙂
