Suffering is universal; how we react to suffering is individual. Suffering can take us one of two ways.

The purpose of suffering, however, is to build and strengthen us.

He already knows, and we have the opportunity to learn, that no matter how difficult our circumstances, all these things shall be for our experience, and our good.
