What are the advantage of annoyances?

If we create our own existence with our mind, why would we create annoyances? We create annoyances to give ourselves a gauge of our own ability to forgive. The ability to forgive is a sign of enlightenment. When we can see past and not perceive the annoyance as an attack, this is enlightenment. How far can you go beyond that which annoyed you into acceptance and compassion for it? To measure this is to notice your nearness to enlightenment and the realization of your proximity to God. So practice forgiveness. Make it a significant part of who you are. Do this in this lifetime in this time frame and you will achieve it. It need not be recreated in another lifetime, for once achieved, it no longer lingers. It is now a part of the truth you have amassed. It is a part of who you are. So forgive. Forgive small. Forgive those that inflict pain. Forgive those who annoy. — Jim Larsen
