I'll concede that maybe we do become better people after we've gone through some great personal loss. The whole "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger" argument is valid.
I guess I'm trying to step away from the whole "Well, look at the silver lining" ideal and asking whether or not this is the best way to live.
I mean, basically the point is we seem to learn better when we're in pain, when we've lost, then we do when we're happy. Why? Is this the best world we could live in? Is there no other way?
Why do we HAVE to live in a world where this random nasty violence and stupidity has to exist on a daily basis? This is why I can't believe in the JudeoChristianMuslim God. Because if he does exist, if he did create the world, then he's either a nasty bastard or one who truly fucked up this world.
