Hi Brayden
I read with interest, your comment, “If you live your life in a manner where you are quick to judge, quick to anger, lack forgiveness etc., you will have a real problem dealing with your own pain.“
If I understand you correctly, it is as if you surrounded yourself with “negative energy” all your life, it will rise up and bite you really hard when you are in a vulnerable situation, i.e. a painful experience.
It must follow then, that if you are non-judgemental, peaceful, you forgive because (among other things), it is good for your own peace of mind and soul, then you will surround yourself in a “positive aura”. Then when you have a painful experience you will be in a better position to deal with your pain.
I might add that if you spend a lifetime reaching out with loving-kindness to comfort those in pain, you should not be surprised that when it is your turn to hurt, that kind, loving “others” will help you through your pain.
Some people call this Karma. Some people simply call it common sense.
