Why we have to suffer in our life?

Question

pain of problems that we face in our life

Answer 1

we suffer for all the bad things we do in life

Answer 2

It's an overused saying, but one hundred percent true. The one that says that good cannot exist without bad. You see, if bad things did not exist, there would be no comparison. Good could not live un in oppose to something else. I.E. Darkness isn't darkness without the lack of light, right? It's the same with pain. Bad isn't bad with the lack of good.

Without the shedding of darkness in our lives, we would not be able to appreciate anything. Everything would be on the same level. Nothing would feel great in comparison to something else. Without that contrast, the human mind would suffer greatly.

On top of that, they do say that pain is the best teacher. This is true, because what better way to learn a lesson than the hard way? Hard times make us stronger and smarter as we grow older, so that we can survive longer. When you're young and feel the heat of the stove burning your skin, you from there on out learn not to touch the stove when it's on, correct? Because of human nature, we cannot just settle for being told something. We need to see for ourselves, and that's where pain comes in as the proffesor.

Into every life a little rain must fall...but even the clouds need rest, so it can't rain forever.

Answer 3

No, we don't have to suffer, simply give up all the joys which seemly (actually not necessary) so important to us.  Then we are free of pain.

Answer 4

You can either choose joy or pain...it's up to you.

Answer 5

Can't know the good without the bad. Yin and Yang, you know.

Answer 6

hi.

Answer 7

If nothing ever hurt, we wouldn't enjoy anything, everything would be boring.

Answer 8

Hey, that's life.

Answer 9

from a functional perspective, the purpose of pain is to warn us that what we're going isn't working or good.

You feel physical pain when u touch a hot stove. this is ur body saying "WTF! Don't do that, stupid!" haha

You feel emotional pain when your partner cheats on you. This is your body telling you "This is dangerous. it won't work out. we need to leave and find something better"

That's why we feel pain. It's you body telling you that you need to solve a problem.

Answer 10

you dont have to if you don't want you choose to suffer

Answer 11

Think of it like this.

You go to school to gain skills in life that you will take with you when you leave home.  And you live at home to learn manners and attitudes that will help you to live peacefully with your neighbors when you are older.

The problems then you face in life are to help you grow and learn from them.  And then you too can be a teacher or one who can hep someone else even as you struggle.  Because no man is an island in life.  We all need to help each other in this life's journey.

You are not alone in your struggles.  We all struggle differently and we need help.  So stop looking at just your problems and start helping others with theirs.  And I think in time you will be surprised how your problems too will be solved by someone Else's help and experience.  

Never have too much pride to get help.  And always be grateful for help.
