Not at all, it is overly romanticized that things are only worth it when you suffer for them.

1mo

Yes, through it we learn so that the same mistakes are not made, it is through sadness that we can distinguish happy days, although I think I would have preferred to remain ignorant in some aspects 🤣 (edited)

No. Definitely not. Only some suffering teaches people but "most" of it is because of others' greed and need for power, it is not only "unnecessary", it is pointless, selfish, and pure evil. If only we could get rid of certain evil entities.

I think suffering can help you grow as a person. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

1mo

Most of them no, but let's remember that there is no happiness without having known suffering.

1mo

There are inevitable pains that leave deep scars, but suffering is a choice. I didn't come to this world necessarily to suffer; I came with the purpose of evolving. (edited)

1mo

I think that suffering teaches a lot, but I don't know if it's always necessary.

1mo

Suffering, categorized in what sense? Physical suffering is inevitable, mental and/or emotional suffering is nonexistent; it is merely created by ourselves, and it will be necessary if you want it to be, or just nonexistent if you do not give mental or emotional importance to the event.

1mo

Suffering makes you realise the value of the absence of its cause, it also teaches you how to "figure it out " so it is necessary in life but it may cause side effects and leave traces in humans

1mo

No, many times it could be avoided but you have to have the courage to face it.

No. Understanding suffering as prolonged pain over time... At least psychologically it is not necessary. It is a consequence of thought. The pain of memory 🫶

1mo

Not at all

1mo

Necessary? No. Unavoidable? Yes. You are going to have really hard times in your life, but that's when you also learn the most.

I believe Godly suffering, that being suffering and choosing JESUS in the midst of it, teach repentance, compassion, self-control, joy, patience, peace, respect, love, etc- suffering without GOD on the other hand can lead to the complete opposite🙏🕊️

1mo

I don't know, it depends, because suffering for love gives you a lesson, but suffering physically due to some events is different since it's something that is out of your control.

1mo

No, not all suffering is necessary; there is a thorny confusion between the pain of growth and mere pain. The pain of development is essential because it builds meaning and develops your character, while the senseless suffering resulting from injustice or ignorance is mere bleeding that does not grant wisdom, but leaves scars that could have been avoided. Testing for a noble purpose creates immortality, while pain for the sake of pain is just misery.

No, I don't think that suffering is necessary in itself. Some sufferings are unjust, unnecessary, and could be avoided. On the other hand, I think that once it exists, it can sometimes teach us something about ourselves. It can make us more clear-sighted, more sensitive to others, or push us to change certain things. But I don't believe we should romanticize suffering: growing up shouldn't necessarily involve pain. Sometimes, the most important thing is not to find a reason for what we've experienced, but simply to manage to keep going despite it.

1mo

No. Suffering does not necessarily have a purpose.

sim

1mo

yes, it serves as a learning experience for life and gives you strength to face whatever comes in the future

1mo

No

1mo

Not all suffering is necessary... Some is an unavoidable part of being human.. loss, failure, and growth often shape wisdom and resilience. But much suffering is preventable and should never be glorified. Meaning can emerge from pain, yet that doesn't mean the pain itself was required or justified in the first place.

1mo

All that suffering you inflict on yourself is not necessary and leads to no inner resolution.

1mo

I believe we all go through similar things in this life. It might not be word for word the same. But we all know hurt, we all know happiness, we all know what life can throw towards us and we just have to play the cards as best we can as there dealt.

1mo

Definitely

29d

I believe that pain makes you learn, but I firmly believe that there are times when life is cruel, and that you can learn with less pain too...

1mo

It's optional

1mo

No, sometimes we drown in a glass of water just because, when we could solve things and not suffer so much.

1mo

No

1mo

If everything were beautiful without suffering, they would feel empty; in life, everything has a balance, even that which hurts us.

1mo

No

28d

No

1mo

No but I do think some lessons need to be learned the hard way in order for them to stick the things we go through make us who we are

1mo

No, but many times it is a consequence of our actions; we must learn from each experience, no matter how painful it may be.

1mo

That's not it, but pain makes us stronger.

1mo

Noooo !!! Some suffering is man made for various reasons $$$ Some can’t be helped medical reasons thank god for doctors medicines etc.

1mo

What we learn from blows is true, but sometimes it is just greed.

1mo

Without suffering, humans do not learn, but there are sufferings that are better never to know.

28d

Yes, it's necessary to train our minds to become more mature.
