RE: Random Thought of the Day - Daily Contest #20 - Is suffering an important part of being human?

I think we should all be the same as Jhon Lennon wanted to be: Happy.
Suffering is part of life. It is a kind of emotion that helps us to grow and to form our character. Ideally we should always be happy or content, but somehow when we suffer we value happiness and show that we care about the people or things around us. No one wants physical or emotional suffering, or of whatever nature, no one seeks it, but it is inevitable at any time because it is part of the experiences we will live and from which we must learn.
