Do you believe there is value in suffering?

Posted on Jan 11th, 2009 by [Grimm] : Conscious Co-Creator [Grimm]
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 11, 2009:

I believe that suffering is a much needed part in our own self discoery and evolution.
As it is said in one of my most favorite series of books, 'In the absence of what you are not, what you are... is not.. ". Thats the words of Neale Donald Walcshe, from Conversations with God. Essentially, what it means is that we must experience who we are NOT (suffering) so that we may come to know (experentially) who we ARE (miracle).

Also, suffering can push a  person to change in many dramatic ways. And hopefully for the better. In sityuations of suffering it is only a matter of time before a member, or a group of individuals in any given society begin EVOLVING their perception of life towards something more glorious BEYOND the suffering they currently experience.
