Why is it that some of us are made to suffer? There is a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is something that is. It is that which we feel as a result of stimuli in our surroundings, and of itself just is. There is nothing about it that makes it good or bad. Suffering on the other hand, is by definition bad. It is a by-product of pain when we cannot understand why it is that we hurt. Or, perhaps in some cases a by-product of our knowledge of the source of our pain. It is something that we should endeavor to remove from our lives, but is almost impossible to do so.
Loneliness is the lack of connection with our fellow humans. Loneliness, at least to me, makes no sense. How can one stand in a crowd of people and still feel all alone, without connection to those that surround him or her? And when one has been alone their entire life, how does one learn to be connected?
