I would only humbly assume,

G doesn't select anyone imperfect,

The trials by fire you may have endured in your life is the path laid out for you.

You could look at this as a negative i guess but it's not, there is no other way to acquire the experience and in turn the skill sets you need in order to sometimes unknowingly, achieve whatever goal G had planned for you.

If you have been through the wringer in life, perhaps it is not a negative but a positive, you have been trained for something bigger, a specialist you might say,

only the toughest of us can survive basic ...

I dunno,

if you look at it this way you don't feel so bad having to tank the drama from everyone else trying to achieve what you were trained to do ...

as for the Linwood subject, ill stay outta that one.

hope your doing well Doq o7
