No. Some wounds are fatal. But if they do not kill you, physical wounds will heal and seal. All things get easier to accept with the passage of time.

I have some serious physical as well as emotional scars. The physical wounds need professional doctors to graft the skin and ward off infection.

The psychological wounds heal much more slowly and may also require some professional help.

To accomplish God's will in our lives. Joseph was sold into slavery, yet he became a ruler in egypt and saved the nation of Isreal from starvation. Joseph was quoted as saying to his brothers, What you intended for harm, God intended for good.

God must be ultimately responsible for the bad things which happen in our lives, otherwise he is not Sovereign. He could prevent things from happening in his sovereignty.

However, God is not Wicked. If a murder shoots you, the murder is wicked and sinful because of his malicious intent. Although God was in control fo your death, he was not wicked in allowing it to happen. Perhaps he is saving you from a future that would ultimately lead to damnation.

Bottom line: God does not owe us an explanation for the bad things that happen in our lives. (This is the message of the book of Job).

How to appreciate my life?

I just graduated college, and in a desperate move joined a reggae band, all the people in it are wonderful. I work at a day camp with wonderful people, and work at night at Walmart with some cool people as well. I always assumed when we died, that we went somewhere. Maybe not heaven, but somewhere, as a spirit or some form of being. This summer, I realized my religious believes had changed and I questioned. I found all sorts of terrifying things, quantum immortality, eternal consciousness with no contact with the outside world, and now the more commonly accepted, and most likely only outcome, is non-existance. That still has me freaked out, my whole view of life has changed and suddenly theres no light at the end of the tunnel that will help me deal with my regrets. I still kind of think we reincarnate somewhere, since if we didn't exist before we were conceived, and return to that state, maybe we will be born as new people in some universe somewhere, and that's not quite as far-fetched since we people on earth now are proof non-existance can bring existence. Still, just a hope though. Lastly, I was friends with a girl from college who i was really into, and she rejected me, and then suddenly changed her mind for a week and made out with me and then rejected me again, and it messed me up. I always wanted someone special since childhood, and now that were talking again i dream of her dating other guys and ignoring me, and i'm worried life wont be what i hoped it be.

Interesting concept! I am inclined to feel that thought is more appropriately considered as the PROCESSING of the inputs of the senses...taking all that the body receives through its sensory organs and then processing that information, analyzing it, and then incorporating it with prior historical and educational awareness, coupled with emotional and philosophical training to result in thoughts, ideas, beliefs and attitudes that then serve as the basis to guide the decision-making and behavioral processes.

Fortunately, it is performed in a far more rapid and simplistic manner than it is to describe and analyze!
