the thread about meeting loved ones in the afterlife holds a lot of interest for me, but it makes me wonder about the people in our lives who hurt us. (and I apologize if this topic has been discussed before)
What about people who hurt us - the murderers, the abusers, the rapists, the drunk driver who kills a loved family member...are we bound to keep meeting them again?
I'm having a very hard time wrapping my mind around this concept because its very personal for me. I grew up in an very abusive, dysfunctional home and I cannot believe that the person who treated me so horribly in this life could *ever* have been someone who loved me in another life. I guess all the stories I hear of people who see loved ones waiting for them "on the other side" and how they meet loved ones again in different roles makes me wonder...could a soul decide, "okay, I loved you so very much in that life but now in this life I am going to torture you, but its for your own good so you experience something/learn something."???
