questioning suffering

Suffering exists. True statement? How do we know it exists? How have we come to call one life a "good" life and another a "bad" one due to a great deal of what we call suffering? If there is no God there can be no such thing as suffering. There is nothing to which we can compare our lives. Agree? Disagree?

One of my favorite parts so far is the section on the connection between love and freedom. Good stuff!
