The world believes that suffering is meaningless and should be avoided at all costs. God believes that suffering has value. There is a whole continuum of suffering. At one end you have something as common as inconvenience. At the other end you have something as horrible as the death of a child. By going deep into the smaller forms rather than running from them, by embracing the lesser forms of unavoidable suffering, we allow this hideous aspect of life to strengthen our will so we can choose what is good, true, and
right in the moments of our lives—but this spiritual practice of embracing suffering prepares us for greater suffering that may be in our future.
