I think that nothing I did in this lifetime caused me, and certainly not my S,to deserve to be hurt so horribly. I didn't take this quote word for word; I took it to mean people have learned from this and become stronger in some way, not better.
Just my interpretation.


That was the way I meant it (it was my quote so had to chime in). Better was the wrong word to use - stronger was the right one.

Quote:

I do think that it's possible we are sacrificing ourselves so that the WSs can learn painful lessons.


How are we sacrificing ourselves though? I don't feel I have sacrificed anything. I feel W has thrown away a lot but I have done nothing.

Quote:
Don't mean to make it sound like we are perfect and they are crap, but I mean that the lesson is for the WS and we are suffering the consequences.


The reverse of that entire quote is also true smile
