CHAPTER

The Connection Between Suffering and Desire

This chapter explores the deep connection between suffering and desire, discussing how our desires for beauty and goodness may not fully understand the suffering that comes with it. It delves into the two options for dealing with suffering: engineering our lives to avoid it or numbing ourselves to not desire more. Embracing suffering as an opportunity for transformation and experiencing God's mercy and peace in the midst of suffering are also discussed.
