Why pain and suffering? Everyone asks, many get hurt physically or mentally living in this harsh and competitive generation. It is a problem that everyone struggles to get through. One may suffer longer and while some may suffer briefly but everyone experiences it once or many times in a lifetime.
Why pain and suffering? Many say it's a curse without trying to overcome in a positive manner. But I will say that it's never a curse, it is a blessing that is bestowed upon us by the creator our God.
Why pain and suffering? It's a journey that no one wants to experience. Everyone wants to lead a happy life and enjoy blessed moments. But without pain and sufferings will you ever know what happiness means? No, because happiness exists only after suffering. Pain and suffering are the only reason why we need happiness.
Why pain and suffering? Many complain and give up mid way. Only few understand and face the hardships bravely. There is nothing impossible when you believe in yourself; you just need to face it positively without overthinking because we never know what the future will bring.
Why pain and suffering? There are many times when we do not know how to endure, standing in the middle of nowhere carrying a heavy load and thinking of giving up. But no, be patient, God the creator is testing your faith in Him.
Why pain and suffering? It will never last forever, enjoy the journey of hardships and you will know how to enjoy life. Because after the end of the journey you will realise how precious happy life is and how wonderful blessed moments are.
Why pain and suffering? Stop complaining and move on because life is too short to compare. Adapt to every hardship and take it as an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser. And in the end you will understand what life means. Pain and suffering will teach you a lifelong lesson that you will never fall again.
Remember, a better and a happy life that you have been anticipating is on the way.
