There is also a supernatural aspect. There is actually beauty in suffering, and the fact that many people actually inflict pain on themselves or deliberately look for suffering as mortification is proof of this reality, and therefore debunks this post. Hence, this post cannot account for penance, mortification and the like. The virtue of "hope" is not merely something that aspires for gratification or alleviation from suffering. Reason presupposes the capacity to hope. Life is not about suffering (although it is part of life but does not define it), it is about and is aimed towards loving God, but since The Fall of Man, suffering became present. God then gave meaning to suffering by virtue of Jesus' death. It is the means to salvation and the definition of the perfect love. This post wreaks of Freudian tendencies.
