WTF??

Suffering is optional.

It is a choice.

But christians take it to another level.

It's a choice . God didn't create anyone to suffer, sickness , poverty ,failure ,etc. However there is a Christian suffering with every real Christian must experience. It's the suffering of persecution and our personal sacrifices in his name.

There is difference between hardship and hardness. He wants us to endure hardness .

Love him who loved you when he was a child and who suffered cold for you and wept in the manager for you. Love him who loved you. He was only eight days old when he first shed blood for you. He could not speak then, but he could love. And as he grew older, his love grew too and was shown in the works which he did among us. As his body grew, his trials grew, his pains and tortures and crosses. Love, then, him who first loved you and loves you now in heaven. - Saint. John of Avila.

Virtue that is gloomy, morose, sour, hard, is virture only in name. It is not inspired by God's spirit and it does not become a Christian soul. - Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier.
