[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 646279, member: 18284"] PS ---- Check this out........Here's how the dictionary defines "Suffering". Note that we all brought our own interpretations of "suffering" (which is to be expected). But look how conversation can be misinterpreted based on each others' cultures, backgrounds, perceptions and choices. My interpretation was not at all focused on culture (religious) or perception (chronology -- past/present/future). I think it's fascinating what perceptions and experiences we all bring to the table. I ALWAYS learn something new here and am ever appreciative of that! New doors in the hallway! :D Maybe the more appropriate distinction here is between "suffering" and "unnecessary suffering". I'm all about ditching the latter! suf·fer·ing ˈsəf(ə)riNG/ [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*]the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship. "weapons that cause [B]unnecessary[/B] suffering" [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
