Topic: would you............. | |
---|---|
while i have never experienced it myself i have had family members in that boat debbie and i can say this i think that would be way to high a price to pay. If you mean trading in your soul to stop a debilitating illness is a high price to pay, yes I agree. |

well that was the price you asked about

well that was the price you asked about I was just checking in what order. Thanks Eric. |

I'd suggest another equation for your challenge, OP. Mainly because if I gave up my "beautiful soul qualities," they would most likely include any recognition that I had lost anything.
Instead, make the exchange for something else that would hurt. One thing I've already pondered and decided, is that I would not exchange the pain I have suffered, for the loss of understanding of the world that I gained from it. |

Erm. This is a kinda hard decision to make i think... but I think I'd ave to go with a YES Debbie. But probably won't know until it happens to us

Im not a parent yet, but if I saw my child going through what I do, knowing what its like, if I had to trade my compassion to give my child a life free of pain and suffering, I really don't know what I would do. |

But probably won't know until it happens to us It is hard, On my worst days, If I could pick, I could think sod everyone else, someone else can give others compassion, I just want this suffering to end, that thought has never happened yet, but ive never been give the opportunity to trade my compassion in. But like ive said, if that day comes where I lost it, I think my time would be over on earth. |

No its not, I was just asking out of curiosity if people would trade their best qualities to be cured from a horrible chronic illness. It would never happen, just out of interest. |

I used to have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and yes it got quite debilitating when it got to It's worst. It sort of felt like I was about to explode with extreme pain. Some days, I could hardly stay away from the toilet. Luckily, you feel better after three days of discomfort. I would have given a lot to never be such pain anymore. It cleared up though. Not sure how. I haven't had it again since summer last year.

Every case is different, some people get it very severe and constantly and that must be hard. Im lucky I only get flare ups every now and then. |

Trade your beautiful soul/ qualities if you would be cured from a chronic illness/injury etc. I just made a post in the stress thread, that inspired me to write this thread. For example, If you suffered from a debilitating chronic illness, that caused much suffering and pain etc.....and there was no cure IF you had the option to be cured of your chronic illness and trade it in for your beautiful soul, for example in my case, compassion/empathy, whatever your best quality is, would you? For people who haven't got chronic illnesses and they CANT imagine what they would do,im trying to make this easier for you, but the same still applies. For example, if you needed your leg amputated etc..... and you could trade your soul/best qualities and keep your leg and save your self from illness, would you? I am asking about YOU personally. Does Lakanuki count, cause I sold everything trying to cure that? BUT if people want to add their children to this, that is fine. I know that's a tough one, so please don't feel you have to answer, what ever you feel comfortable with. I AM FOCUSING ON PHYSICAL ILLNESSES FOR THIS THREAD. Thanks peeps. |

Hello Debbie! Nice thread:)
Do I hear a sound of hopelessness and desperation in this post? I have never suffered from chronic illness but I went through a lot of pains in my life and I understand how it feels because once in my life I have come to a point that I asked the Lord to take my life so I wouldn't feel the pain anymore. But I thought of how precious life is to waste or give up.......NO, I wouldn't trade my beautiful soul for anything. But rather I will use my illness or suffering to be an inspiration to everyone who keeps on struggling in life. Let my beautiful soul be shared to everyone who are losing hope. I will be thankful enough to live the remainings of my life here on earth with purpose. The pain may not go away, but with faith and hope and a steadfast prayer for a miracle will give you strenght to go on living. |

Nope but hell nooooooooooooo...
Have you ever watched a movie where they gave up their souls to have something they wanted? Whether it be health or money it always backfires the Devil calls those souls back as soon as they get what they want.. I would rather live my life with what ever health issues I have with a clear mind and soul... I have learned to deal with what ever comes around with a smile....Worrying about it or talking about it all the time only makes one dwell on it too much... |
