The Universe is filled with Paradoxes. One of the Grand Hermetic Principles is that ALL Paradoxes can be reconciled. Helen Keller said ... "I thank God for my handicaps, for through them, I have found myself, my work and my God." No one would choose to be blind and deaf. A handicap or a weakness is not what we desire for ourselves. And yet ... We ALL have Weakness, of one kind or another. But do we put these to USE? A Weakness can be a Great Source of Strength by ... Giving us something to grow beyond ... It affords us with an exercise in over-coming ... It becomes a learning experience ... AND, with this growth, this over-coming, this learning comes the ability, via first hand experience, to reach out and help others who suffer from the same or a similar handicap ... IF they are ready and willing to receive such help from us. No one needs to Suffer from a Weakness. That's not what their there for. But anyone can learn, grow, become stronger, and share this with others. That's the Real Reason for these things. Weakness a Great Strength? Yes, and more, if ... I'll only stop struggling against it, suffering with it, and USE it, as was intended. ~ Peace and Blessings be upon you all. ~
