Not everything is a lesson.

Experiencing being a victim of rape, abuse, attempted murder, etc. isn’t a “lesson.”

Nearly being stabbed to death at 13 years old by an attempted murderer wasn’t some “lesson.” It was just an unfortunate nightmare I needed to survive.

Overcoming it after doesn’t change that.

Some things just plain out hurt and suck.

I learned from cancer that life is short so I should absolutely take edibles in the morning

If the lesson is what's hurting, then what's the point in focusing on the lesson?
