If we are journeying all our human lives towards perfection, what is the role of suffering? Can suffering provide moments of learning? For the victim? For others? Think about what Frankl said as you reflect on these questions: "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering" and "If there is a purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and in dying. But no man can tell another what this purpose is. Each must find out for himself, and must accept the responsibility that this answer prescribes. If he succeeds, he will continue to grow in spite of all indignities."
If we are journeying all our human lives toward perfection. The role of suffering will be the assistant of our pursuit of perfection and satisfaction, because people will find a better way not to suffer, and that way will make them become better and stronger. The role of suffering also can remind people to reflect what thing they can do better, and tell them to move forward but not backward. Suffering can provide moments of learning for victims because when they are suffering, and they will cherish the good life they will have in the future. Suffering can provide moments of learning for others because others can learn the suffering experience from victims so when they suffer something, they will get through it quickly.
