Do you think suffering is ever pointless? Like with women giving birth, war, famine, excessive labor, etc...
The mods struck back, so you probably know who i am.lol. I haven't suffered much myself, but it's been a recurring theme in my life lately, like something i have to figure out. And the movie Zenith brought these thoughts to my mind today; in the movie everyone is genetically altered to be "happy", but they become numb and take drugs that cause pain just to be able to feel something. I had a sort of epiphany about human suffering after watching it. I don't really remember it right now, but I'd like to see what others think first anyway.
Women giving birth? I guess you could call that an evolutionary mistake. It's the size of our heads compared to our bodies at the time of birth. Other animals don't have that problem...but then of course other animals aren't as smart as us.
Is it normal to justify pain and suffering w/ a greater purpose?
