Does suffering ever end?

We are condemned to live a life of suffering, we can only endure it, those who don't suffer are only the rich and the dead. Until we have company, how will we cope with loneliness? When those who matter to us leave, what will be left of us?
When are we going to be loved?
We may postpone suffering, but loneliness always brings suffering and bad energy. We train, we read, we meditate, we love, we experience, but at the end of the day we'll only be left to suffer.

 

I've been cheated, been mistreated, when will I be loved?

No one suffers alone, all the suffering in the world has been felt before and will be felt till the end. Just as our joy can be turned to sorrow our sorrow can be turned to joy because our suffering has been made redemptive. God bless you.

 

My comrades above said it all already, but I still want to say a few things.

I disagree with you. Suffering and pain will always be there and you can't run away from it. That is true. However, life isn't only about suffering. I wonder what you had to go through to come to this conclusion, but it's pretty sad to see.

You say the rich don't suffer? Money doesn't prevent you from experiencing pain. Like I said, nobody can run away from it. Some rich people are very depressed while some poor people are happy. It's all in the mind and how you perceive what's around you.

Suffering, like everything in life, does have an end. Nothing lasts forever. However, it won't go away on its own. You either learn to deal with it, or you change your situation. Whining and complaining won't do shit. Only the strong survive. Being happy and moving forward is a choice, so make the right choice.

 

I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my post, I didn't make my message clear after all. I am trying to understand suffering as a feeling and as an idea, I've started meditating, and reading books on buddhist phylosophy/history. I definitely am not depressed, and I don't think suffering is a negative emotion. If you go to the roots, life truly is suffering, but seeking to escape or deny it, is a sign we aren't strong enough.

 

@Mr. Diesel You have to find out for yourself if suffering can come to an end, no one else can do it for you. We suffer because we do not understand ourselves. We are blind to our reactions and motives and so we cannot see that we are attached. There is no book, no guru, no god that can show you who you are. Only you can look within yourself and become aware of what you have never been aware of before. Observe yourself and come out of your misery.

 

I would define loneliness as a feeling of missing something. Not feeling enough.
I don't feel lonely because I know and feel enough for myself. I am great. Not just great. But amazing.
I wouldn't want to change with anybody in this world.

 

The time and things we experienced together will remain. Sometimes more sometimes less.

 

Sometimes we are loved but people don't show it too often, so we tend to forget it.
The most important thing is to love yourself unconditionally.

 

to experience*
Suffering is unavoidable but the feeling of loneliness is. Not always of course. But what about the good days the days
we don't count because we hold on and dwell to long to the negative feelings from yesterday.
