In other words the question is: If you've had it bad before, and have it good now, do (or would) you feel better than anyone who has never had it bad?
I believe, since I've had it bad, that I have an edge over those who've never had it bad. And it makes me feel good about myself because I can help those, who've been through the same.
PS. I used the word influence because I'm a recovering addict.

Hello! What doesn't break ya, makes ya. We grow stronger with each difficult life lesson. I've had it tough too and while our heartaches fill novels, we have gained compassion. I say the flip side of suffering is compassion-it's two sides of the same coin. How does that wrap around your May pole? ;)

I agree with Delia and Fiona. The experience of opposition aides you in the position of empathizing with and offering assistance to those who deserve it. I commend you for your recovery and your willingness to use the wisdom you've gained from it to help others!

sure. I can understand what your saying, and in many different situations too. I don't think it makes one person better or smarter than another, but experience brings about different perspective.
