Aaron: I pray to God that I am not in public when they decide to strike. What I do know however is I must finally recognize that I have been created to suffer (the cluster headaches are just another example of my despair). Forsaken from my Creator (I have turned to you more than many God!!!), my fate is predestined.
You're right. It's all your God's fault that you suffer. Like Jesus said while nailed to the cross, "My God, my God why have you forsaken me?"
Of course, you could look at things a bit differently. You could say, "Why not me?" Cast aside your faith and hope in a god that has, "created you to suffer," and instead, become strong and honorable and courageous. Try looking at it this way:
You have been created to endure.
As my friend Jack Boyd often says, "No one likes a martyr."
Love,
Dave :-)
