    we dont even talk anymore and they still haunting me

    Teaching is such a noble profession and a great show of service. In terms of transferable skills, teachers have MANY of those.

    What's that saying about find a job you love and you'll never work another day in your life?

    Stick with what you like better. Happiness day to day is worth more than the big bucks, the fancy promotions, or whatever those opportunities are.

    I've lived both and I picked the job I love.

    To help us let go of things not meant for us, and facilitate change...

    To make us stronger...

    Today I don't think there is a point - it just is.

    I may think something else tomorrow.

    Every experience in life is for the soul to grow, over many lifetimes. The sufferings one endures in this life will be different than those in the next, as well as the positive emotions.

    Sufferings and joys allow souls to become richer and more nuanced. The soul's aim is to experience all that exists - the infinity of life, until it is omniscient and omnipotent, like God. Then it becomes one with God.

    After that, it can create worlds.

    If you show your face you strike a balance between oversharing and reeling it back in for your career and resume. Mmm hmm. B) Six degrees of separation is now two. The world is shrinking.

    Best function I've found is gratitude and appreciation of the good. But my own personal jury is still out on whether it's a good balance. :/ Especially for some people who seem to get a world of suffering thrown at them while some sit high in their shiny thrones and keep on prospering.

    All I can say is 'D@mN you Eve, put the apple down!!'

    What if the balance wasn't with one person but rather everyone? Maybe the people that have it wonderful are balanced by the people with horrible lives.

    Well then, the old saying goes "It isn't fair!" because it truly isn't.
    I hate it when a cloud seems to follow certain people around. :( And I don't believe in the saying 'God gives us only as much as we can handle'. My sister is a case in point. I have no idea how she hasn't crumpled into a heap by now. :(
