The Lessons Learned Through Loss

As someone who has spent many hours studying and listening to the issue of loss, its most inevitibly a necessary evil to say the least. I call it an evil, because on the small scale of our own minds we believe it to be bad, yet it is necessary to realize how attached one can get to the worldly lives we hold so valuable. We loose certain things only to put us in the right place at the right time for someone in far greater need. We loose to prove that we have grown too attached to something or someone and have replaced it as a god in our own lives. We loose to teach us a lesson on carelessness and invincibility. We also loose to force us to remain human and alive on the roller coaster of feelings associated with the loss of anything.

The bigger picture to everything in this world is far more important than the instance gratification of a smooth easy path.
