Yes Robyn. A person who goes through suffering and yet does not lose the equilibrium - that is the essence of life. But what if, too many sorrows, sad events and that too continuously are dumped on an individual or family. What if life is a continuous saga of pain, helplessness and discontent. Thinking that it is all a part of the bigger picture and a larger beautiful canvas that is laid out unknown to us, can I forget about the present - suffering silently. Well, it requires lot of inner courage, replenishment of faith (which goes on getting emptied faster, as nothing good unfolds) and faster bouncing back to current agenda.
There are moments or events which cannot be shared with others - because the suffering is so private and solutions are not available. Silent suffering continues.
I too had very miserable life and still continues for over 30 years.
