All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
Ascetics and fakirs come to mitigate human suffering to heal us and lead us on the path. They put up with criticism they go through many worldly trials. Some of them have even become martyrs for our sake. But they have done all this with a smile and with gratitude to God. Hence sacrifice is a great virtue.
I hope every woman out there who wants to be a mother and is suffering with infertility will explore all the options and know that if you choose the science route it is okay.
Religious suffering is at once the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature the sentiment of the heartless world as it is the soul of soulless condition. It is the opium of the people.
My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.
The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.
I know the Russian political elite has got used to the Ukraine suffering from an inferiority complex but I want this to disappear from our relationship.
Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race to grow and mature.
But you cannot expect every writer to dwell on human suffering. I think my books do deal with grave issues. People who say they are too positive probably haven't read them.
Suffering is the positive element in this world indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive.
