Have you not been through enough personal trauma to actually want to read the recurring theme of suffering and despair from all of us? Is it therapeutic or inspirational in anyway?
CAROLINE @ Issue no. 271Demon answer to what is the utility of suffering. The mark of the beast is given to someone who is a slave to their impulses. They allow their instincts and other innate processes to dictate their behaviour. People who act badly because of their suffering are reacting instinctively to an innate sensation and have allowed themselves to become beastlike rather than a being of free will. We are sent suffering because if we are able to overcome it and still act morally, we have achieved greater sentience and moral strength. The most powerful example of this is Jesus, who in the midst of suffering said, “Forgive them they know not what they do.” Please ignore me if these messages are a problem, but I have messages from Up, so I don’t know what to do really. This has been weird.
REBECCA @ Issue no. 180My question is about how you perceive the utility of suffering. What is the value of suffering to us as individuals, and to us as a species as we go through our life carrying suffering around, like some mind-numbing, soul crushing weight?
