Dear Friends!!!

What is suffering ? Is mental suffering more or the physical suffering more tough to deal with?

Can any other external thing help us in dealing our suffering?

Does suffering make the person more weak or help in emerging as more strong persons?

Do all the human beings suffer at one or the other point of time?

regards,

mythili

A point when your body crosses the pain threshold is called suffering.. Mental suffering may be easier to cope with but physical suffering, for eg... can be terribly destabilizing...

Can any other external thing help us in dealing our suffering?

Most case medicines help to control our physical pain but not our mental pain.. but more often the mental pain is subjective and self-inflicted, an inherent trait of the personality....

Does suffering make the person more weak or help in emerging as more strong persons? Physical suffering makes them stronger.. mental suffering devastates them....

Do all the human beings suffer at one or the other point of time? Yeah yeah .... suffering is part of life....😆

If you don't know suffering Myth, Consider yourself very lucky..😊 Mental suffering feels more intensive during teenage thru adolescent and younger adult years but as one grows older it is all about physical suffering.😆 The point of transition could be worse as one could be suffering mentally as well as physically.

Can any other external thing help us in dealing our suffering? Fresh air , fresh food and fresh outlook in life.

Does suffering make the person more weak or help in emerging as more strong persons? Physical suffering may make one frail but to end mental suffering one must change their thinking process and work on mind.

Do all the human beings suffer at one or the other point of time? Yup, I suffer every time I go to the mall, when I buy something or decide not to buy it, either way I suffer.😕

Suffering to me is going through unwanted, undesirable circumstances. in other words facing problems, hard times.

mental suffering relates to, depression, mental illness, inappropriate thinking, fear,

physical suffering would mean injuries to the body, pains, ill health, diseases, etc.

I think suffering becomes more hard to deal with, when it comes in the combination of both mental and physical. for eg,

calamities, disasters , take away people's home and even their loved ones, hunger brings physical suffering and loneliness makes them suffer mentally..

tragedies with women, like, tortures after marriage, rapes, abuse, and other harsh situations . where it becomes difficult to recover from ill health and injuries and also maintain a sound mental balance.

Can any other external thing help us in dealing our suffering?

i guess one external thing that would help in healing, would be the person's inner link with GOD, his faith in Him, to be able to believe in him, to get back the will power . this would gather his shattered hope , which is most required to heal,

Does suffering make the person more weak or help in emerging as more strong persons?

It makes the person weak at first and then makes him strong.

only if he goes through it and becomes week, he will come strong out of it.. 😊

Do all the human beings suffer at one or the other point of time?

"life is not a bed of roses, and even if it is for some, then , under a rose lies the thorn"

so i guess at some point of time everyones goes through some suffering......

im nt soo philosophical... bt i can say this... mental and physical suffering is the same..... you can get meds for both, you can get help for both, and both affect the person tremendously!

I really don't know why I made this post on saturday ...well before the blasts...
Hmm! Seeing the victims..their family..relatives..their suffering makes me wonder if there is any external power which can really control this bloodshed and inhuman acts!
Its just failure of the administration and the inhuman acts of terrorists!
How can we say that .......these victims...are undergoing these tragic incidents...because of their previous Karma😭😭😭..........
