AW All

I am sure many people who are now adults have had experiences as children that they look back upon and wonder what the meaning behind it was?

For example going on a school trip as a 7 year old and being pushed into a river by another child for no apparent reason? Being bullied, or verbally abused by the adults in ones life or falsely accused about something when they were innocent. What lessons are we supposed to learn from this does anyone have any answers? I did used to think that it was a way of learning that the world is a place of suffering and not something that should be trusted or loved. But it does make someone who thinks like this gloomy and depressed and this is not the natural state of the Muslim is it, should we not be joyous, trusting and loving towards others, instead of suspicious and weary?
