I have definitely suffered and I have definitely been blessed also. Praise Jesus for all things good or bad, they make us who we are and bring us closer to Christ.

Everyone suffers . . . even if it is only suffering from the delusion that you are not suffering! While there are many types and degrees of suffering, by far the most common is the suffering we create for ourselves by grasping at a self that does not exist, or suffering the consequences of our egos, which so often lead us away from love and compassion.
The fact of suffering is the first of the Buddha's four noble truths. The end of suffering is the goal of Buddhist practice.

We all suffer in life some more than others, but through our sufferings there is growth and something good always comes out of them (example alcoholic goes to treatment then becomes an addiction counselor....someone is abused gets therapy and starts a program that helps millions of people)

It depends on your definition of suffering but I do not know anyone who does not have problems. Some are a lot more serious than others. If you do not involve yourself in life then you don't get too many problems. I prefer to experience it all.

If you are a human being and are old enough to turn on the computer...then you have known suffering. That is life.

I'm 55, suffered quite a bit, and wondered exactly how old those people are who said "never"!!
P.S. I wanted to add, that indeed God did work "all things for good".

I guess it's possible, but not so likely... since we bring suffering on to ourselves when we make mistakes. I don't know anyone who doesn't make mistakes.
