If I examine my own life, I’d give it a 90% rating right now. So pretty good, fantastic even. Possibly better than I ever could have dreamed. Even many years ago, when I was in some pretty dark places and couldn’t see a logical way out, I kept faith the dark times are sent to test us and the deeper and darker they come they more brilliant the light would be it arrives. And I was correct, maybe I’m lucky but somebody has to be – and my beliefs have never wavered. I haven’t read “Conversations with God”, this is my own real experience.

Even if the good moments in life are “brief”, surely if offered the opportunity would you not live your life again to experience them? If, when you arrive in the hereafter, God offered you the chance to live your life over again, with all the “horrible suffering” exactly the same, is it not a fair price to pay for the moments of magic along the tracks?

Our time in this world is fleeting and precious, whatever hand you are dealt you should savour it as much as you can. I don’t know what’s wrong with your Madam, but the future might be positive, why not believe it? Whichever, you should make the most of every moment you have, and I’m sure you do / will.

This world is not “hell” there is a balance here of good and evil. As a Cambridge United supporter for every 2002 there’s a 1992 – you know it makes sense.
