In this show we will discuss the value of suffering. So often the assumption is that suffering is bad and joy is good. But perhaps pain and suffering are necessary for something greater. We will explore this assumption through ideas put forward by Viktor Frankl in "Man's Search for Meaning", Sufi mystic ideas about the "pleased self", and other philosophical sources. We will also apply experiences from our own life. As always, we hope for callers to comment or question on the ideas being explored. Do you find meaning in suffering?
