The Sense of Suffering
Those are issues, which all of us know. It's completely impossible for an individual not to suffer, even if we talk about the US president or a {B}Hollyowood celebrity. Because our world functions between two poles - the evil and the good and in order to understand both and what valuable is, our life moving between those two margins. Of course some of us incline to the one extreme, respectively to the other one; there're even those who balance.
The sense of suffering is sometimes misunderstood and hard to explain. Yes, even good people could suffer and feel pain and there is one reason for this. God wants us to realise during our lives that we are born sinners and we should ask him to be merciful with us, the sinners. That's a key issue in the personal development of each Christian, although it is not always welcome in the Western culture. The opponents of that idea wonder
I admit that this question is different to be answered for mere me, to a certain extend. I also would welcome your comments on this but in my opinion, a baby is no sinner. It becomes later in life while mixing in the society and realising it's corporeal besides spiritual. Unfortunately, we cannot survive without a considerable care of our bodies and we need to satisfy our necessity of clothes, food and most formidably spectacles. Please note that the extend is different with any of us. That is why a suffering should be seen from at least two different aspects: it could be a kind
Because religiously, even Jesus Chris has suffered without having any fault. He was crossed because of people's sins and soon after that he resurrected. All this means that our life is a sequence of good and bad moments and this has its own sense. On Earth, we could suffer or be happy,
Letting us suffer, God wants us to take account that we think of our life, what we cause other people, if we could be better and believe in Him and in the surrender, whether we are able to start a new life or forgive sins, help the weak people. He says that only
In the meantime, this does not automatically mean that we should get reconciled with evil in our life - in opposite, we should try to avoid it and keep others away from it. We should try to lead a more spiritual life and help the weak and helpless individuals. Be aware that even the most important commissioners in this world, are commissioned by The most Powerful. The power of the highest politician is nothing in front of God's abilities. Only in that way, our good acts would have more weight while being judged by God.
Amen!
Friends,
I tried to analyze that problem from a religious point of view and my own. Because I am a Christian, I used that religion which is also my own. This, however, does not exclude the possibility for other faiths to share their thoughts, comments, etc.
Have you ever suffered? Do you know what pain is like? Do you know both physical and spiritual pain?
Those are issues, which all of us know. It's completely impossible for an individual not to suffer, even if we talk about the US president or a {B}Hollyowood celebrity. Because our world functions between two poles - the evil and the good and in order to understand both and what valuable is, our life moving between those two margins.

But what about if amiable, innocent people suffer?
The sense of suffering is sometimes misunderstood and hard to explain. Yes, even good people could suffer and feel pain and there is one reason for this.

How come a little baby could be a sinner?
I admit that this question is different to be answered for mere me, to a certain extend. I also would welcome your comments on this but in my opinion, a baby is no sinner.

Because religiously, even Jesus Chris has suffered without having any fault. He was crossed because of people's sins and soon after that he resurrected. All this means that our life is a sequence of good and bad moments and this has its own sense. On Earth, we could suffer or be happy,
but after our death the suffering or the happiness will be eternal and everlasting.
Letting us suffer, God wants us to take account that we think of our life, what we cause other people, if we could be better and believe in Him and in the surrender, whether we are able to start a new life or forgive sins, help the weak people. He says that only
a person who knows what is like to suffer is able to appreciate real values in life
