Guest guest Posted October 14, 1998 Report Share Posted October 14, 1998 Greetings: Here is what I think will be an interesting site that deals with suffering. http://panetics.org/panmain.html Suffering is a subjective state or experience of pain, discomfort, distress, fear, anxiety, anguish, loss, humiliation, misery, and other disagreeable sensations. The condition indicates a breakdown in the psycho physiological harmony of the organism within itself or with the embracing Nature and/or a threat to its ego. According to the 1953 unabridged Webster's International Dictionary of the English Language, suffering is " The state or experience of one who suffers; the endurance of, or submission to, affliction, pain, loss, etc.; also, a pain endured; a distress, loss, or injury incurred. " To suffer is " To submit to or being forced to endure the infliction, imposition or penalty of, to bear as a victim or the like; or to suffer martyrdom, severe losses, or a year's imprisonment, to be subjected to physical or mental pain because of; to endure with distress as to suffer thirst or insult, to feel keenly or acutely, as to suffer pain of body or grief of mind.
