The Most Significant Period Of Suffering

The primary theme throughout the essay is the cycle of suffering, its mystery and universality in

The theme of suffering will be talked about throughout this essay. Even though it isn’t the most pleasant topic to talk about, it is part of our lives. The dictionary defines suffering as “The state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship.” This essay will examine suffering and how it shows up in different printed sources, as well as in my personal life.

A time when I experienced suffering was when I was faced to deal with the deaths of both my mother and father in law in 2014-2015. Loosing someone close is never easy. My father in law was terribly ill. He was weighing 250 and ended up weighing barely 120 before death. He had 2 cancers in the body, the throat and bone.

Romans 5:3-4 points out how suffering only grows us closer to Christ through a transformation of character and realization of the fact that our hope is in him no matter the circumstance.

There are many differing ways that people suffer. Some effects can be superior and some can be inferior. In the quote by H. Richard Niebuhr, suffering can make you stronger, have more character, along with respect.

In the Gospel of Mark and in the short story ¨Sonny's Blues¨ by James Baldwin there is a theme of the redemptive role of suffering. In these texts suffering is shown to allow the sufferer to be understood, while questioning if the suffering is worth being understood. In “Sonny’s

In this paper, I would like to explore several responses to this argument, the nature of evil, and to explain why some evils might be a necessity.

Does the problem of evil pose a challenge for theists and the existence of God? The problem of evil argues that there is so much suffering in the world that an all-good and all powerful God would not allow such suffering to exist. Therefore, a God with those characteristics does not exist. Unless the suffering is necessary for an adequate reason. Some people argue that suffering is necessary for there to be good and for us to able to understand what good is. In this paper, I will argue that suffering does not need to exist in order for good to exist, because the existence of good does not depend on suffering. I will then argue that good and suffering are not logical opposites. Finally, I will conclude that since evil is not justified, then the God that we defined does not exist.

The problem of evil as suffering is a problem of what to do with the obstacle for the believer but also an obstacle to unbeliever to converge because they do not think it harmonising. In contradiction to compatibility, an atheist often suggested that the present of evil entails the absence of God. Atheist argued, if God exists, then as an omnipotent, he is able to prevent the evil occurrence. For omniscient, it implies under any circumstances evil will occur if he does not act. Then, being perfectly good, he will prevent its occurrence and so evil will not exist. Based on this above proclamation, the existence of God does not compatible with the evil of whatever kind. However, theists response to this logical problem of evil by an atheist is that necessarily perfectly good being, foreseeing the occurrence of evil and able to prevent it, will prevent evil. The essay will first, define what evil is according to Swinburne as one of the philosopher of religion, Second, Swinburne four categories of evil will be discussed (Physical evil, mental evil, state evil, moral evil). Third, Phillip logical and existential problem evil will be discussed through. How will all these above assertions be a problem to those that and does not believe in God.

Suffering and pain affect every character in some way, however some characters rise above it while others sink. Suffering, is expressed in the binary of drugs and music. It is also more precisely expressed in a theme presented in the last scene

The problem of evil (the problem of suffering) is an argument against the existence of God

The first time I experienced great pain was when I was 18 years old. It was the year 2007, my best friends diagnose of sickle cell was getting worse, she even developed Lupus. At that point I knew what her outcome was going to be. While growing up I came to accept the fact that she was sick and eventually this day will come but I didn't think it would come this soon. She was only 18 and just got accepted into college. It hurt me to see all the pain she was going through. When she died that pain stayed with me for several year because I had lost my best friend. It hurt knowing that we wouldn't be able

Our experiences of suffering may also help us in our moral conduct as an experience of suffering serves to make us sympathetic to the trials of others. We learn to a) help the afflicted (through consolation and relief) and to B) not inflict harm on others, having experienced suffering ourselves. Furthermore, many spiritual seekers in the past have felt that suffering and spiritual progress are inexorably linked, pointing to St Teresa of Avila and St Francis of AssisiI as examples . I believe that if we can learn from our

Two central themes to understanding the human condition are suffering and morality. Humans contrive morality to be a set of values deemed right or wrong in a society, and are often defined by institutions. These guidelines shape the way people live and how they react to life’s circumstances. Suffering is one emotion crucial to the understanding of existence. In a time of pain, an individual often seeks direction from a higher power, like the church. Institutions such as religion are a way of expressing morality and a means to cope with suffering, a crucial understanding of the human condition.

Reflecting, I propose that most humans experience suffering to some extent throughout their whole lives. It helps the healing process tremendously to investigate and understand the onset of suffering first. Essentially, anyone who is looking for answers to the dawn of suffering may literally have a tough time to unveil the cause because chronic suffering actually goes back to the origin of human life. “Your body, directed by the brain, linked to the mind, contain vast numbers of systems that must maintain a healthy equilibrium…changing conditions continually disturb these systems, resulting in signals of threat, pain, and distress--in a word, suffering” (Hanson & Mendius, 2009, p. 29). This anguish exists because maintaining stability is impossible in the world that is constantly changing. Many threats (e.g., death and aging) are unavoidable and therefore, cause an ongoing unpredictability, ending in suffering (Hanson & Mendius, 2009). The fact that we are in a never-ending struggle with what we have learned from each other, since arriving on planet earth and into a physical body; the reality of interconnectedness to all of that is nature and the universe has created tremendous suffering over time in individuals. It is evidently imminent and it requires a whole lot of empathy and tolerance for the facts of life, therefore, the human existence included. In the face of this reality, willingly, I have encountered the course of healing to be the awe-inspiring balance to
