What does suffering really mean? I could probably say that I have suffered tremendously and have gotten back up and with some vigor. I suppose those closest to me may say so. I seem to continue to get knocked around the way life has taught me and life has taught me resilience and toughness from it…but somehow a softness remains. The softness is a fragility in me from my love, my wounds, my pain and still I seem to have an overall vulnerability to give my heart out to see what happens next (and hope for the best). I fear this softness will harden someday and without me realizing… I fear being unable to suffer. What if I become so hardened around what is real, true and pure that I lose myself to the numbness? What then? I guess for me then suffering is direct evidence that I am still alive to the purest qualities that I have…
