I know I am big on philosophy, but it helps me understand the process of suffering. To divert pain into devotion is a process used by so many penintents of religious orders throughout history. I can understand what it was like to be voided of so many Earthly pleasures to be closer to the 'CREATOR'.

Is not this life somewhat like this? I have learned so much in my time as a diabetic. Tolerance, understanding and empathy. Is not the teachings of Zen....reach out from the centre to embrace the universe, but return to the centre. Expand, yet remember from where you have expanded. Know yourself.
