Friederich Nietzsche once said that to live is to suffer and to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.
That is partially true. Life is not just suffering.
Life is a complex spectrum that stretches itself from the edges of hell to the edges of Heaven, including them both.
With that in mind, you need meaning in suffering, but you also need anchoring and grounding in joy and happiness.
Meaning in suffering and grounding in joy come from God and from the wisdom He gives you when you develop and maintain a personal relationship with Him.
Like King Solomon said: “For I am your servant, the son of your female servant, a man who is weak and short-lived, with little understanding of judgment and laws, for even one who is perfect among humans will be regarded as nothing without the wisdom that comes from you.” ( Wisdom of Solomon 9, verses 5 and 6 )
Meaning and grounding.
With love, yours truly, Cristian.
