[Red Boots]

Pain and suffering are part of humanity.To love humanity is to love all parts of the human experience, which includes pain and suffering. Great love comes with great suffering.They are two parts of a whole. I don't enjoy suffering, but I have learned things about myself, and God, that simply couldn't have been learned any other way.That learning is what life is all about. Therefore, I don't try to run from suffering, nor do I help others run from it, nor does God. That would be a grave diservice to humanity.

To love humanity is to love all parts of the human experience, which includes pain and suffering.

That seems an odd way to put it. I could understand loving humanity, meaning, wanting to relieve whatever pain and suffering humanity experiences, but to love them "with the pain and suffering," sure sounds like one is in favor of it.

So, please clear it up. What is your position on the WOD, are you for all the suffering it causes the innocent, or opposed to it?
