In reply to Pain is part of life, but suffering is a choice???, posted by Kath on October 22, 2008, at 19:40:16
I don't think it's about that, Kath. It is about accepting your pain, but finding ways to be and to live in spite of. When I am suffering, I am feeling the pain, but at the same time I may also be feeding the pain and that turns into suffering. Accepting, but at the same time choosing to take responsibiliy for what you do to cope with it, searching for positives to neutralise the negatives, mitigates the suffering. I think it makes sense.
