Life is

Life is a learning process.  Wisdom comes to those who have faults, who make errors, who hurt others and in the process of doing so, hurt themselves.  Sometimes the only way we learn is by making a painful mistake for the grander purpose of being taught an important lesson.  There's much truth to the statement that a lesson will be repeated until it is learned...  The same lesson will be presented to you in various forms until it teaches you what you need to know.  Although sometimes these people and situations come to you in disguise, the end result is always the same.  And sometimes we must realize there's little that can be done to prevent this heartache...  It simply has to be.  

With wisdom comes strength, courage, knowing, and an ever-increasing inner peace.  Be brave, dry your tears, and hold on tight.  The only way out is through.
