Thought for the day

I don't think "why" is a very fruitful question when it comes to spiritual development. That's because I don't think it's a question God is in the habit of answering. It's a better idea to ask "what did I learn from this" than to ask "why did this happen?" The reason, I think, is because "why" puts things on a sliding scale; does the answer to "why" justify the "what" that occurred, which is completely dependent upon our feelings at the time.
