I agree. We all have a path to follow. And it's ok not to know. In my personal experience it was my awakening so they do serve a purpose.
I do have compassion, nevertheless. Living in this world from a place of fight or flight response is not easy. I can see/feel the little girls and boys behind the mask, the pain and confusion.
Had to learn the hard way that love sometimes means to let it go, not from a place of bitterness but from a place of acceptance.
