Suffering is part of wisdom. We go through are sufferings to learn knowledge of what is around us. I see it as shallow if nobody went through painful emotions; where is the empathy otherwise.
To gain empathy you need to go through all sorts of emotions. I believe there is a purpose to suffering once you get through it; it shows you the better end of things in life. People need to learn to embrace pain to find the light. It's really not too bad once you accept it instead of avoid it. People hide it instead which only makes it worse. That is where narcissistic personalities come in then; they avoid their past pain when they were a child. They were maybe abused or something awful happened and they don't let go and find the good in what they need to learn from that. Sometimes people are born with that personality disorder though.
When you truly realize that in situations that others have sufferings too, then that's when you are more likely to make the situation good. Kindness kills anger, which speaking calmly to someone who is frustrated, irritated, annoyed or angry can break it. Negativity is a waste of energy and you don't need to accept it from others; there is no point in arguments. Of course it takes patience to accept situations that way. :)
Is it normal to justify pain and suffering w/ a greater purpose?
