The Meaning of Suffering

The idea of meaning is not ego driven, but we do want to have this resonance and feel that we have meaningfully contributed to the lives of others. Gordon Matthews did a study on 52 Americans and 52 Japanese on the Hei concept for his dissertation which later became his book What Makes Life Worth Living. That kind of goes to how I think maybe Kamiya and Frank will both write this that out of suffering, we can find meaning or purpose.
