When it comes to life, there are just some lessons we have to learn the hard way. The arena of the lesson doesn't seem to matter - it could be family, love, school, work, or relative to one of our own personal characteristics. The hard lessons tend to shape our perceptions, cause us to look at things differently. Each of us most likely has a list of mental and emotional dents and scars, invisible reminders of the cause-and-effect lessons we have picked up along the way. Some of these hard-learned lessons of life may seem like punishment, but if you can process through the unpleasantness and look for purpose and meaning at the core of the experience, somewhere under the emotional turmoil is guidance geared toward teaching us not to be such a disservice to ourselves.
