The Importance of Suffering and Compassion in Our Lives
Compassion and courage can give meaning to our lives. Without a cause to be generous or to share, it's hard to be compassionate. Similarly, courage cannot be displayed without dangerous situations. When we subtract suffering from great lives, they lose their inspiration. While this approach is compelling, it cannot be applied to every instance of suffering. As a Christian, I believe in the soul-making value of suffering.
