going through my own suffering & reading others blogs sometime I wonder what's the purpose of suffering in life. Though after reading lot of books on that subject. I feel going through dark phase in your life does have tendency to wake one up & appreciate light around you. I know & have seen every one is different in handling lean period. It can make you either bitter or better person. I know when you find meaning in your suffering, life becomes so much richer. I know I loved victor Frankel's book man's search of meaning it made perfect sense for me that was biggest AHA moment. Though I also feel we all go ups & downs in life, and believing something good will come out of this even though I don't see it that way right now. Sometimes it takes decade to see something good coming out of hell you went through. I feel for diamond to shine it has to go through that chiseling
