If you lived long enough, you saw the paradox regenerated. The two reach the exact same destination, but reach completely different emotional reality. One finds a soulmate, but only gets crushed when the relationship ends. Another navigates the same broken heart Resilienceappearing, stronger and more self-aware.

The events in their lives may not have changed, but because of their perspective, their entire world has changed.

Tragic stories from my own community demonstrate this with unforgettable clarity. I often go home along the Pacific Coast Highway, passing by the gorgeous montage resorts of Laguna Beach, a breathtaking beauty. One evening the highway was closed. I later learned that a couple facing financial troubles had checked into this idyllic hotel and ended their lives. Considering paradise in most places, their thinking created an inevitable hell.
