If you knew about suffering and how long it can go on for and the intensity then you could probably do alot more as you would be willing So please understand. |

Your realities don't face up to the reality of suffering if this is your weapon of choice. You tell it some saying you invented that is supposed to sound catchy. Nope. |

Quoting: everything's alright i have lived with chronic physical pain for twenty years. nobody can understand it. i know what causes it and pretty much have physical proof but nobody can know how it feels but me. i have also endured a great deal of psychic and emotional pain. suffer suffer suffer. do you believe in surrender?? i don't really know the answer. time goes by and we live because we have to. Pain. It would be nice to get rid of it once and for all. People don't know very much at all about pain and are very underprepared. I believe more of our life needs to be dedicated towards solving pain and suffering on earth and even preparing for it as it may be possibly necessary as the bible would put it. There is very little discussion on pain and suffering. This needs to be remedied. Pain brings everyone down and forces new behaviour or adaptation to some part. I don't see any good for it. It could be entertainment to some advanced being. What's your theory on pain and suffering. Please add to the discussion. It could help. Nobody can sense your suffering if they can't see it. |

We enter in to the Kingdom of God with much tribulation. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10 When you die (and we will all die someday), you will stand before God and give an account for your life - every decision, every action taken, every idea thought, every word spoken. He will judge each of us according to the perfect moral standard of His Law. If we have sinned against Him in any way (all sin is against God, we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God) - if we have lied, stolen, looked with lust, taken His name in vain, hated another person, or coveted something someone else possesses; He will find us guilty of breaking His Law. Every unbeliever is right in their own eyes (Judges 17:6; Judges 21:25; Proverbs 12:15; Proverbs 21:2). Many unbelievers, while maintaining their belief they are good people, call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20) - things like homosexuality, abortion, adultery, and the list goes on and on. Most unbelievers will not think of submitting to the authority of God because they believe they are righteous enough without Him (Romans 10:3). No one receives God's forgiveness because they have done what they perceive to be good works (Ephesians 2:8-9) or because they believe they have performed any righteous deeds (Titus 3:5). Salvation is a free gift (Romans 6:23). It can not be earned or deserved. It is based entirely on God's mercy (Titus 3:5), which was made possible to receive through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross (Romans 3:21-26; Romans 5:6-11; Titus 3:4-7). God alone is good (Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19). No mere human being is good (Psalm 14:1-3; Psalm 51:1-3; Romans 3:10-18), according to God's standard: moral perfection (Matthew 5:48). To believe on Jesus Christ as Saviour means to have faith that He died for you, paid the price for your sin, and is the only way to heaven. "Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and that I deserve hell. I believe you died on the cross, paid the penalty for my sin, and rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in you alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank you for giving me eternal life in Jesus' name. Amen." "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:36 "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;" Titus 1:2 Accept Jesus Christ, repent, pray, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, study the King James Bible, and take the yoke of Jesus upon you.

This, too, Shall Pass. Acceptance of the knowledge that the pain comes in waves. sometimes it subsides long enough so you can catch your breath. experience of pain can bring growth in consciousness. Siddhartha, Gautama, The Buddha said, "Life is Suffering" "Dukkha" Pain. Sickness, old age and death bring this. Impermanence brings this. What can we do with the pain? Adapt? as you suggest, is one possibility. With repetition, we become accustomed, as i have mentioned. Entertainment to an advanced being? I think Pain can be more stimulating than a constant state of satisfaction of sensual desires. Suffering can be pleasurable, sure. When my back is hurting me, i feel uncomfortable and squirm in my chair or shift back and forth with my body. But i can't tell everyone around me, "my back hurts, that is why i am doing this" forever's gonna start tonight |
