"Like ours"? (chuckle) My world has mostly been stone walls and quiet hallways. I'm knowledgeable enough, but I haven't actually experienced many things like you have, not until recently. Perhaps that's how I have.
But you're right -- it hasn't been without trials. I learn from the bad times, focus on the good ones, and don't let any of it effect my faith. Not everything in our world is a tragedy, yes? Deities or no.
