You are right! Life is born out of strife my good friend, Michael! In Greek mythology, when Zeus decided to create the world He transformed himself to Eros( Love) in that way he managed to unite the opposing forces in the cosmos by harmonizing them: He didn't eliminate the one or the other force but achieved an agreement between the two so they are in constant strife which is supervised by Zeus so the laws He has established never are broken!

Yes, my dear friend we must! The question is if we can do that easily or not! With faith it becomes easier though! Thank you very much for your lovely visit dear, Anne-Lise! Thank you! Hugsxxx

How true for each of us but I have to believe that enough grace and guidance is also provided. Well put. DMB

I believe we all have a measure of doubt but when we take God's hand the path becomes clear.
