Like me, I understand this is my time to suffer, my penance as it were. (see my latest blog entry). I am not interested in a 'scientific way to be happy'. I made some serious mistakes. I have to pay the consequences. My soul has to become purified. <BR/>I guess I have to thank for you this article because it has forced me to want to read yet again, my Orthodox books on suffering.<BR/>And did you know today is the day we commemorate the crucifixion and fast. Yes, every Friday. But I am sure you know that having researched the Orthodox church, right?<BR/>And yes I am bitter, but you all ready know that.<BR/>They give Jesus bitter gall to drink. So I must drink it too. There is no other way.<BR/><BR/>Forgive me.existentialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121706260786532883noreply@blogger.com
