Thanks for elaborating on that Dale, wise words I think. I guess I was reacting to a view I’ve come across from a lot from Christians that suffering is a painful but God-given blessing in disguise. Assuming there is a God, I wonder whether:a) painful events are part of God’s plan for us, because we learn from them, orb) God grieves for his children and dislikes these events as much as we do but can use painful events to bring about good (kinda opirntuopstic), orc) pain is just part of the natural system that is life and death on earth and God doesn’t interfere.
