On Suffering

In this episode we discuss suffering. With so much suffering experienced globally and in our lives, how can we gain a deeper understanding of this human experience? Is suffering necessary to live one's life? Is it avoidable? How can we use suffering for the greater Good? We will first take a look at suffering through different philosophical lenses followed by a discussion on Christianity's understanding of suffering.
