Suffering and Christianity
Saint Paul wrote: "And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us." - Romans 5: 3-4 (NRSV)
Suffering and Buddhism
(Sanskrit duḥkha), or pain in one sense, is the first of the Four Noble Truths.
