King, I happen to agree with that assessment. Iam also one who believes that one needs to deal with hardship to expose character. For example, my best friend's mother is someone, who, until this year, has had the good fortune of never really having to experience any kind of hardship at all. She has been blessed financially, and with good health, and, for many years, has been an insensitive, judgemental, and really vile human being, belittling others serious problems, while overdramatizing her own issues. For example, in regard to my serious issues, my parents divorce, and my estrangement with my father, she has always been very insensitive, and judgemental, thinking she's the maven on how I should live my life, and dismissing my issues by telling my best friend that my unfortunate family situation "happens to a lot of people". Well, this lady is now about to experience a divorce, as, due to her actions over the years, her husband of 41 years, at age 65, has decided he can no longer stand her. I have told my best friend, that while Iam sorry he will have to endure his parents going through a divorce, that, in regard to his mother, "what goes around comes around", and that I believe God is punishing her for her insensitivity to others. She will walk out of his divorce with more financial security than most, but I know it is still demoralizing for this to happen after 41 years. My friend, while he is sad about his parents upcoming divorce, agrees, and he himself has told me that maybe her experiences now will teach his mother a lesson on how to be more sensitive to others problems. I didnt wish this, mainly because I didnt want my friend to suffer as I have, but I truly believe that the greater force is teaching this woman a lesson, and, that hopefully, she can begin to examine herself, and develop more sensitivity when others are in trouble.

Sounds fishy to me too. I hope someone isn't messing with you. If so, let us at 'em! There'll be hell to pay!
