Suffering and the Problem of Pain
Suffering is real. How can we make sense of it? What can we learn from
it? Can we overcome it?
People have different ideas about what is wrong with our world. Obviously
economic injustice, political factors, racism, religious hatred and greed
are factors in the existence of suffering. But they are not the only ones.
They all point to a far more insidious source – one which is in fact not
at all far from our human hearts.
Suffering and pain tell us that something is wrong.
