We Need Suffering...


Vincent Van Gogh

We need suffering. 
We all have to be purified. 
And suffering is the great purifier. 
Can we wish that it should not come, 
either to ourselves or to those for whom we wish growth 
and purification more than anything?
And then the Buddhist phrase: 
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
And then from Mervyn, 
"Don't waste your suffering."
