Mental illness vs Physical illness

Its a tough one. theres a lot of tragedy in the world, people get sick and die all the time or get into accidents its crazy, I know that shouldn’t make me feel any better but it helps put things into perspective. Why would my suburban candy ass be any different than say some poor kid in Syria who just happened to get a bomb dropped down his chiminea?

I have kidney stones monthly so I have intimate knowledge with pain…the pains differ very much…due to the stones I have a higher threash hold for physical pain…but I wouldn’t compare them they hurt on diff levels…

Either one is just as bad when it starts hitting my soul and I cant take it anymore.

Thank you everyone for your kind opinion.

This is what I was trying to point out:

“A person’s spirit can sustain him through illness, but who can bear a crushed spirit?” (Proverbs 18:14)
