1. We do not want to suffer.
2. We think that suffering buys us something that we want.
Control.
Redemption.
Attention and sympathy.
The validation of self-worth through struggle.
Punishment for perceived sins and mistakes.
Release from responsibility.
Excuses for not taking the right action.
Not bonding with others through shared suffering.
The avoidance of facing our deeper fears.
3. Pain is purposeless, without a cause, and has no power to accomplish anything.
4. It cannot purchase anything at all.
5. We have been a slave to nothing.
6. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God.
