Thanks for clarifying. I guess for me the value of adversity is in the clarity it provides. It highlights what I want out of life. For me, that *is* the transmutation of that experience into love. From that perspective, while the negative catalyst is certainly not preferred, it is still appreciated in that it helped clarify our ultimate desires (be they positive or negative). The negative contrasts and highlights the positive and provides a bounding off place for more preferable evolution.
