On the topic of Schizophrenia and God's love.

[reeay]

OPs that start with a personal opinion then a directive to 'discus' seem to typically end up in some kind of conflict. But I think your motivation here is a positive one... to give some positive spin on something that is so misunderstood and stigmatized.

You could say tho, that any adversity could be reframed into a positive experience. I agree with zenmaster that the challenges of living with schizophrenia or any other schizo-conditions is usually not thought of as a 'blessing'. How could we account for the symptoms like not being able to take care of oneself or becoming highly paranoid or other life challenges?

One thing that is interesting is that schizophrenia and other schizo-conditions have better prognosis in other countries like India, where the illness is understood thru a spiritual context and probably more family cohesion, thus more support from people around. So it's a blessing to have unconditional love and support from people around. It's a blessing to understand that schizophrenia is a serious neurological condition with many challenges... AND there are opportunities for a person with this condition to have a rich and fulfilling life.
