What's Your Definition of Suffering?

Suffering is a strong word, and some people might think that an experience must be really terrible in order to be categorized as suffering. So what's your definition? Yes, i think it's important, good questions and ore for us to be clear of what we're talking about. I'm interested in why we voluntarily expose ourselves to experiences that under normal circumstances we would avoid. And so leas if somebody says, oll dods aren't that's not suffering in my heavy duty sense, i totally agree.
