It is interesting that suffering deepens and heightens you as a person.
If you have suffered then your happiness is greater than someone who has not
suffered.

In a religious sense - those who suffer are specially chosen - so that they
may be loved more and feel more love and so that they may know and love the
Divine Being more.

It is a strange thing that you can look at someone who suffers - and
although you do feel pity - you can be aware that they have been chosen and
favoured by the Divine Being - that in essence - those who suffer are those
who are preferred or favoured.

It is the opposite to the normal view. That those with happy charmed lives
are not as preferred or loved by the Divine Being as those who suffer.
