What would your life be like if your worst experience had never happened?

Question:I would not have my life if my worst experience had never happened. As horrible as it may have been, I would never take it back. It's true that life experiences make you who you are and that you are never given more than you can handle. I am who I am because of my experience and I like who I have become and I am thankful that I can say that because I did not like who I was before and it's tragic that it took such severe measures for me to appreciate life. I definitely do not take it for granted.

it would be so great! i'd trust men!!! :0

well, to tell you the truth, i think your life might get worse, with time comes experience. it is an important aspect in your life, but if it never happened, then i guess i would not be afraid of heights! lol

I'd be weaker

I can't group my trials into 'experiences'

Growing up with 16 years of drug abusing, physically and emotionally abusive parents.

Suffering through an incredibly rare disfiguring condition through my teenage years for over four years.

The horrible cruetly I receieved from others, taunting, mocking, anything else imaginable.

Clinical depression, suicidal for over three years, no family support whatsoever during these struggles.

I'd love if I could look back upon 'bad experiences', but from the viewpoint of my 21 years experience, my life has been a bad experience...

I'd definitely not be the same person that I am today. And if I had the choice I wouldnt take it away either. As hard as it was, and as painful, it made me stronger and probably a 'better' person too. Honestly, like the earlier response said, we'd probably just find the next worse thing to concentrate on. Its all relative.

It's more of a combination of a bunch of little bad things that have a greater effect on us. It's hard to name one bad experience. So I'm lucky enough to not have one horrible thing happen to me, but a good number of little things that I can live though and learn from. If my worst experience had never happened, whatever it may be, I would probably just make the same mistake again because I hadn't learned from it yet.

I believe we grow as we experience bad terrible tragedies. However, that depends on the person who experiences the happening. A person could either be uplifted and learn from the experience, and become stronger from it, or become inhibited, bitter, and cold. People are unique, so they will act uniquely in different situations.

I would be less of a person. We all profit from bad and good experiences. We learn constantly and sometimes it is painful and we regret some of our hard lessons but they make us stronger. I fear that some experiences weigh us down and perhaps discourage us but if you look real close and get down on your knees you will come to the realization that God has control of your life and that you are where he chooses for you to be at this moment. Just put your trust in him. You will do great things. Great in Gods Eyes.

i would probably be a bit more sane but not by much.

It probably would have continued... I would have to say... that honestly... it made the situation much better... does thinking about it really bother me... sometimes... its something I don't like to talk about... but if it had not have happen... my life would probably be in the same terrible state... so... I would like to keep it... and honestly it made me stronger... and able to relate to other people that the same thing happen to...

my worst experience that I brought on myself with help from a bottle of whiskey brought me to God, hence I wouldn't have salvation----so my worst experience is the most important I ever had

i would likely not be the person i am today. i regret any pain i may have caused, but i do not regret any personal pain i have felt, because it taught me to be a better person

I thank God for everything that happens in my life...Good or Bad! I guess I have been extremely lucky throughout to get the kind of love and respect from almost everyone connected with my life that most only dream of. I have been spared the worst kind of experiences we read about in newspapers, TV, or other media...Touch-wood!!!

But yes, I've had my share of disappointments and sadness. I welcome these too because in some ways they have strengthened my resolve, made me more confident in facing future ordeals, helped me grow up. I can help and guide those who are going through a bad patch too, with my understanding/empathy with their situation.

So, I believe all experiences are good in some way or the other...
