[QUOTE="Magnus Stout, post: 1533108, member: 17448"] Lots of good comments. I remember reading about a cook in a monastery who apparently had an insane temper. His story came up as an illustration to a faithful inquirer asking who is the "most faithful" in the monastery. The answer: their lowly cook! This was because of his real, physical struggles lead him to develop incredible spiritual gifts. I believe the same case can be made for all kind of physical aliments, including things like same-sex attraction which we now perversely celebrate and refuse to see as just another physical challenge that should be overcome to build spiritual gifts. Instead of pointing our fellow humans to the deeper significance of life realized through physical struggles, medicine now seeks to infantilize humans. The good doctors that remain know that humans are not just walking biological machines--we have spirit and soul. Most people are better to stay away from this System and to focus on improving their spiritual life. [/QUOTE]
