Suffering – To deny or to accept
Future possibility:
Often we despair because we are mired in what seems like a real predicament, from which extrication seems unlikely. It is precisely here that a sharp focus on the meaning possibilities that truly exist beyond the moment is so vital. By focusing on the future, we can transcend the present and its frustrations.
Life as Good Plus Bad:
Life has unconditional meaning, even in suffering and death. In spite of all, we are urged to say “Yes” to life. Suffering can be used in a meaningful way and translated into a positive experience.
Suffering is a basic component of life. It is an illusion to think that life can be a string of only joyful experiences. The individual who is vent on the experience of joy will be unable to find meaning in suffering. Such a person has turned life into positive and negative components, with the negative to be avoided rather than confronted. But avoiding what is there is not a healthful approach.
An integrated life must anticipate highs and lows, joy and melancholy, fulfillment and challenge.
Since suffering of some sort is unavoidable, it is better to be philosophical ready, and thus psychologically prepared for the inevitable suffering situation.
