Why do we suffer like this? What is wrong with our life? These are existential questions. These are important questions. Thanks to the suffering we are awakened Sometimes we need some kind of reminder to awaken our urgency to practice. Otherwise, we may think that we still have time and life is not that bad. You know if we don’t experience suffering ourselves, we may not be able to be compassionate towards the suffering of other people. So suffering also serves a purpose. And we would need that purpose to transform our suffering and hopefully help other people to transform theirs too.
