Things will happen in your life that you can't
stop, but that's no reason to shut out the world. There's a purpose for the good and for the bad.
                                               ~Walter Sparrow

How do you look at the things that happen to you and around you, both good and bad?

When have you learned valuable lessons from bad things that have happened to you? Have those lessons stuck?

What are the effects of shutting ourselves off from the world?
