Each incarnation requires the soul to struggle with a key flaw -- addiction, shame, fear, hubris, narcissism -- which in fact is a gift. It is the illness we have chosen, the work we have selected to do. The flaw both drives us to catastrophe, and lights a path toward the learning we came here for.
Our virtues, which we celebrate, and weave into our identity, are less important than the flaw. Our virtues are the toolbox we were given for this struggle. And it's the struggle that matters above all.
