Suffering is Fine.

If you think that you can live in this world without suffering then wake up, my friend. That is truly impossible and idealistic. As much as we want to stop all the pain and suffering that we experience, we cannot fully remove it from our lives. There will always and always be pain in this world. And how is that fine?

            It is fine because that’s what makes us human. To be human is to know and accept that after every storm, there comes a rainbow; after every fall, we can rise back up; in every failure, there will come an opportunity; and after every end, there is always a new beginning. We cannot truly live if we do not suffer even once in our lives because we fail to ask ourselves, “Why did this happen?” or “What will I do about it?”.

            The existence of sufferings allows us to push ourselves to our limits because we want to attain true happiness and avoid more pain. It allows us to view a different perspective where we can live in satisfaction. It allows us to be flexible in any situation we are in; to adapt to the changes; and to act upon it depending on the options provided.

            Suffering is something that I also want to avoid at all cost. It’s exhausting to always feel pain and be sad all by myself. But sometimes, it depends on how you look and handle it.

            Suffering is fine (though not completely).
