Suffering, if you're a christian, suffering is a part of life. and it's not a bad thing, it is an essential thing in life... there are all different ways to suffer. one way to suffer is through lack of food and shelter and there's another way to suffer which is lack of dignity and hope and there's all sorts of ways that people suffer and it's not just tangible, it's also intangible and we have to consider both.
