We probably shouldn't talk about suffering like it's all the same. The kind of suffering you endure when climbing a mountain is very different than the suffering one might endure working a dead end job under an abusive boss. Suffering comes in many forms. The trick is intentionality. You're going to suffer no matter what, so choose your suffering before suffering chooses you. Also, community is important. Suffering is far more bearable when everyone around you is suffering in the same way. Shared stressors are the glue that hold communities together.
