Do you believe there is value in suffering?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 11, 2009:

...it´s all about comparison = learning to judge the value of the things in life...how would you know what´s good without having gotten to know the bad/negative (and of course the other way around!!!)?

it’s all in what we look at –

look at the bad things & you will see bad
look at the good things & you will see more good

becareful what you look for — you will find what you seek.

As you noted for us to understand what we are looking at we must first
live a little and this is suffering but as we move forward we do better because
we know better.

…not quite what I stated!

I disagree in that the first thing we experience in life to necessarily be suffering - that also depends on what following experiences make of it!

…and to seek only good for goodness sake or the bad for the worst, then you´ve never learned to be objective = there´s at least one other side to everything in life!

First of all, should always question his/her own point of view….

we see what we want to — to agree or to argue – all a choice
you will vibe with those that make similar choices —

Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.

If you look at the negative you will see it because you will be attuned to it.

this is objective – it’s a choice to see that which we want to see.

another way to look at this is — > you will find evidence to support whatever you dream up – so why not find evidence to support happiness, love & joy.
