This is the most excellent piece I've read on suffering on Medium so far. Thank you Henya. (I've archived it for future reference.)

From the perspective of Being, suffering like love is made of energy, What if the meaning of suffering is to turn that energy, we ordinarily deem as negative, in to a positive or neutral? Facing suffering as you have written and turning the energy of suffering into a neutral truth about our selves. Once suffering is fully acknowledged and accepted then a transformation can begin. A transformation into Love. This is hard even for my poor ego to grok. But there it is.
