"Harsh" conditions require insensitive reasoning.
Feelings don't bring back the dead; and tears would never heal somebody sick.
Eventually; it's hard work, logic, and solutions that would cure me.
I like a harsh truth over a pretty lie. That was my point; I agree with you C_L; I meant no harm. I just found a purpose in the condition I'm having.
But it's ironic; that the religious institution is always attacked for selling lies; but modern society is never attacked for doing the exact same thing under different labels.
A person who says: "everything will be ok" is a liar. The truth is that they don't know.
It's just personal that I hate lying. I hate being lied at; and I hate living a lie.
But I would appreciate and bow in respect to a truthful statement; even if it's calling me a "dick".

Fuck off.
Hey Joods, was this motivated by the idea that disabilities were a deliberate strategy for providing fully able people to appreciate what they have? Admittedly that is a weird idea, but then what isn't when it comes to god belief? It does seem like a unjustifiable simplification at best.
