On Suffering

My statement, highlighted below, invokes a profound reflection on the meaning of life. Since the beginning of times, suffering has accompanied humankind, and thus, suffering has been subject to deep study by thinkers, philosophers, and humanists, as well as most religions have built the core of their beliefs in suffering and sacrifice. Martyrs and heroes for diverse causes throughout the centuries have found that suffering is how to reach God or find life's meaning.

 

"We all suffer, we all enjoy; we are all living, and we are all dying,

In whatever stage you are at, do it with style.

How can I enjoy suffering, you may ask

And I said to you:

You can if you dedicate your suffering to a higher passion."

 

What is your position on the proposed subject, considering the explosive times we live in and the values we pursue daily?
