What Is the Meaning of Suffering?
Suffering is the eruption of the irrational within everyday life. It demands a rational explanation and account about dessert. When suffering cannot be explained, we suffer doubly. One from the pain we experience and two from our incapacity to bestow meaning on it. Thus any experience of suffering always points us to the systems of explanation that are deployed to account for it. And so whenever we suffer, we're trying to start being able to explain it because otherwise like you're going to suffer again when you can't explain it.
