Think about this;
     ''Dictator or king, religious or freethinker, rich or poor, adult or child. Every human being that is born into this energy will at some time of their lives experience suffering of some kind, be it mental or physical, self imposed or imposed by others.
     Suffering has a purpose ... human beings would not evolve as human beings in regarding the ego, for the majority of suffering, but not all, is caused by the ego, but here is the paradox ... suffering is brought on by the identification with form, attachment, but suffering can also erode the identification with form, detachment.
     When you accept suffering consciously, awareness, then and only then there can be an acceleration of the process of suffering and therefore the ego will let go and then you can transcend it.
     Suffer consciously and the ego lets go, detachment, suffer unconsciously and the ego creates more suffering, attachment.''
