Sometimes we become so lost in the rain of pain and suffering that we fail to see the rainbow of greatness within our souls. A perfect world does not exist despite how much our hearts wish that it did. Humans often create their own pain and suffering. We remember the slights and hurts years after they occur. We repeat the same bad decisions expecting different results. Human pain and suffering is a part of the natural order of physical world within which we live.
Violence and disruption are also a part of the planet. The civilized world often pretends that the physical world does not exist. We hide within our buildings safe from the elements. And we are shocked and surprised when a volcano erupts spilling lava over the land or an earthquake opens up and swallows people and buildings. Thousands die every years as a result of natural disasters creating more pain and suffering.
Yet within each of us is something greater than the pain and suffering we experience. If we allow it, the rain of pain and suffering can nourish and water these seeds of greatness. The pain and suffering can help us grow emotionally and spiritually. If we learn to harness the pain and suffering, we will be able to transform it into creative works of art. We can find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
