    The strength of the burden is always in the shoulder that bears it. There is a purpose behind suffering, and that is the seeking of eternal relief. Angel blessed and featured on November Blessings for mental health.

    Yes, and I am still finding it- the strength. Suffering makes us find out things about ourselves and others that are hidden until that time. It's like moving into another world and watching where you used to live from a distance. I don't know how people do it without God.

    my answer is no; suffering just makes me become extremelly angry and furious, and the only question i have in mind is - why me?
    ia hate suffering with all my heart, and as a consequence- i am extremelly afraid of even the prospect of illnes and suffering (being this suffering of any nature - biological or psychological)...

    on your blog you speak about life how it is versus life as we want it to be - i am afraid that as i cannot understand always life as it is, i have to live with the life as i think it should be....and when illnes comes and puts a limit to my wishes, well, this is an impossible situation for me- the only way i handle it is with a lot of fury.

    your post just brought me to a territory i always try to avoid - and i think is time to try a serious introspection on this issue....thanks! mia :)
