Thank you for this. It is a relief to read someone on Substack saying this so clearly.

“The impulse to shun all suffering does not resemble the path on which our Suffering Servant trod, and the natural inclination to hate suffering may be the cause of our inability to deal with it.”

Hard words to swallow, but true.

Thank you for your writings! It has been a huge blessing for me and I look forward to every new post.
