There is plenty of suffering, and I account for it in my life, knowing that suffering is universal, and everybody suffers to some extent or another.
The knowledge that suffering is universal is the First Noble Truth of the Buddha. This knowledge prepares me for life. The rest is up to me.

If you are suffering as My people have for hundreds of years through italian occupation of the homelands and english occupation of the home lands for My races then drink beer and hope for a good DeatH cause a bad DeatH is authorized to do His best to kill you all. Thats biblical interpretation.

I'm not really sure what you mean. I haven't suffered physically, but I have suffered emotionally and it was a private kind of suffering. So I guess it was my self.

Suffering is a necessary part of happiness.
Only the wise will understand.

Only every day. What it means is personal, private & in general, there is a life lesson I need to learn.
What about you? Same questions in redirect.

Only if we suffer for His name sake. Otherwise, no. We are to be of "good cheer" because He has overcome the world!

Yes. Romans 5 says 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us--they help us learn to endure. 4And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. 5And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
I believe God here, despite my own desire to live a worry-free, problem-free, suffering-free life. I welcome it and accept it as a gift to help me grow in Christ.

In ISLAM , the prophet MUHAMMAD -peace be upon him said-that " life is the prison of the believeres and the paradise of unbelievers" meaning that to obey ALLAH , you may do something that you dont want to do or not to do something that you want to do.

Some people are very vocal and expressive in their response.
Some people don't express it.
