The task is to learn to live with suffering, yours and the sufferings of others!. It is easy for me to live with the suffering of others because their pain is not my pain, so, knowing their pain is as great as mine I do all I can to help, like never passing a beggar by in the street without donating some of my wealth!. As for me, I am a coward, and when mental pain breaks down the door I pray to all the Gods for help, My final prayer will be to my final doctor asking him to administer the pain killers I will surely scream for!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
