If we are journeying all our human lives towards perfection, the role of suffering is to make use stronger so that we can achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Suffering can provide moments of learning for everyone. Whether you are watching the suffering, experiencing the suffering, or even just hearing about the suffering, you learn from it. No matter who the suffering starts with, everyone can be affected or learn from it. Most people cannot help what happens to them, but they can control their reaction. They can dwell on it and suffer or they can learn from it and become stronger so that hopefully they will not encounter it again, but if they do they know how to react to it. People also have different definitions of suffering. What might be a failure to one person can be a success to another. It all depends on they way you look at things. If you stay positive and do not let the bump in the road get to you, then you will already be living a life of perfection because you know how to deal with the difficult hardship.
