Re:

from the article: "Curse" or "friend", it all depends on your point of view."

Yep, and how a person chooses to interpret it,point of view, depends a lot on their social programming by their dominant family member(s), church, culture, history, television, advertising, etc.

and their choice of how to interpret it either as curse or friend also has a bearing on their life philosophy and influences their thinking going forward. It effects the aura energy field. Sometimes I think its a shame that not a shred of metaphysics remains in "western" medicine, othertimes I'm glad because that has taught me some lessons.
