Share how difficult emotions and situations can be inspiring

Everything that we experience in life can be/ is a practice on the path. With the introduction of the trust system, many are having strong reactions. What can these reactions teach us? What is the universe offering us? Can you think of emotions and difficult circumstances which have taught you great lessons? Would you be willing to share?

I think the idea behind the trust system is interesting, especially being able to give not only positive feedback, but also not-so-positive feedback to not-so-positive content.  It has the potential for being a tool for constructive criticism, but at the same time, there's the potential for people to turn it from a tool into a weapon.  I'm thinking here of the parable of pointing out the speck in your neighbor's eye and not noticing the plank in your own.

I also think it has the potential to make us think a little more about the content of our blogs and postings.  Maybe remind us to stay openminded and loving, not attacking that which we disagree with.  I think the trust system might help everyone to keep in mind that the purpose here is to build up, not tear down.

Personally, I hope that if I start allowing myself to become too identified with my emotions or my life circumstances and start forgetting who I really am, that you guys will kindly point that out to me, remind me to be present, remind me not to let those things pull me back into unconsciousness.
