None of us likes to suffer. None of us seeks pain.  But suffering is a part of life on this earth. While we can never call suffering good, we recognize that good things can result from suffering.  The classic example that shows that good can come from suffering are the pains of childbirth that a mother suffers.  I have seen and heard that pain. It is intense, excruciating, and overwhelming.  But the beauty of a new life that comes into the world through its mother’s pain is proof positive that good can come from suffering.
