Emotional burnout.
Most people don’t truly understand how deep and exhausting it is—physically, mentally, emotionally—until they experience it firsthand. From the outside, it can look like laziness or lack of motivation, but when you're in it, even simple tasks feel overwhelming. It's not just tiredness—it's emptiness.
Well for me it's having a family to feed and when business goes south or one loses out his capital with no means to feed family. That can be very bad and hurtful. And then the family and maybe spouse begins to look down on the man. This for me is terrible among other things.

Death of a family member.

When I experienced it firsthand, I now knew what it is to lose a loved one.

Exactly.

Someone used to tell me "Its all in your head" until she experienced it too.

I was glad she did experience it. That was the only way she could understand the feeling.

There's nothing like miracle.
If it's not by your effort, it's by someone else effort or by chance & time(even the Bible talks about time and chance deciding things).

The fact that i successfully passed through a particular spot, and a minute later, a tree falls on the next guy that tried to pass, doesn't make it a miracle on my own part.
It simply means i wasn't at that particular place at that particular time.
If i were there at that particular time like the other guy, i would face the same fate.
Miracle would mean that the tree got suspended on the air and remained there until i successfully passed before it would then complete its fall.
You don't understand it because you have not experienced it.
You are a perfect example of people who don't understand it.

I pray you experience it soon so that you can believe miracles exist.

Misfortune. Through a miscalculated business move I bled 7.2 mil in cash over a space of 18days., worse of during this economic hardship, I was so confident on the move that I didn't even bother owning a motor bike for myself as e collapse I see shege plus plus, even my own immediate family used it as a tool to taunt me. Through Godwill and hardwork I am picking up every day. It's when you don't have that you see people's true colors.

It's this complex state of mind that'll rob of true miracles even when you experience it.

Death of a loved one.

I never understood the reason people grief at the death of a loved one until I lost my elder bro. The thing scatter my brain
even people who console you with a genuine "I know how you feel" don't truly know how you feel until they are able to convince you with their own experience.

I can relate.
