Why Me?  Why This?  Why Now?

By Robin Norwood

This book has explained so much about life to me.  Some points:

• Life is about making up for our bad karma and healing our wounds.
• We do this through understanding, forgiveness and service.
• We have all been both abusers and abused.  It really helps me to know this.  If people realized that we have all been abusers, they would act with less self-righteousness and superiority, and more sympathy.
• We see life in dualities.  We can’t really understand anything without understanding its opposite.  This explains the purpose of suffering.
• Life goes in “healing cycles.”  People usually need to hit rock bottom before they’re ready to heal.
• Learning our life lessons takes many, many lifetimes.  It may take us more than one lifetime to learn a lesson.
