So, heartbreak, disaster, fear, sickness, disappointment, suffering, and death are simply inevitable. The only people that never experience some of those afflictions are aborted babies, miscarriages, and people that die very young. Arguably, even they experience most of those as well.
But is it a good idea to live the philosophy that "I'm going to experience all of those crosses, sufferings, and afflictions, therefore I must always be prepared for them that when they strike, I may better know how to deal with the grief."
Kind of like shark attacks in boot camp. That's when the drill sergeant does everything to try and break the student in training. It's to help him be a better soldier when everything goes to shit on the battle field.
Is it a good idea though to be daily training for impending doom and disaster?
