To the hurting ones. You ask why is there pain in my heart and life? It can be so easy to want a simple black and white answer, that will cover this question for all humanity. Know that there are shades of grey to this question of pain. Varying reasons why we may suffer. This is a sea of questions where the ship of judgmental attitudes is not helpful. It is an ocean of questions in which to seek the safe harbor of compassion and understanding.
