Situations can be shocking and absurd, but one should not consider it shocking or absurd that these situations happen.
Absurdities should be perceived as such. However, one cannot judge it absurd that absurdities occur. These are inexorable phenomena of the human condition and of existence itself as a whole.
The inclination to ignore this universal principle not only implies a morally deformed and intellectually puerile view, by seeking to deny reality as it is, but, ordinarily, in its ultimate consequences, it drags the unwary observer into the ditch of despair, nihilism, cynicism.
In addition, this perspective is neither intelligent nor mature, nor is it practical, resolutive or constructive, never favoring peace, well-being or the integral health of the individual.
It is relevant to refer to the maxim of Christ-Verb Jesus: “It is necessary that scandals come, but woe to those through whom the scandal comes.”1
Therefore, beloved child, acclimate yourself psychologically to the natural and inevitable intercurrence of human bizarreries and delusions, seeking to extract lessons from any circumstances, including the most painful ones, because, incidentally, these are the ones that potentially contain the greatest and most precious treasures of learning, maturing, strengthening and transforming the being.
