In fact, the effort to get rid of suffering often produces the Greatest suffering of them All! Suffering created by our effort to get rid of suffering is THE Suffering THAT we suffer from most! This is the suffering that hurts most! And, to make it worse this effort to get rid of suffering... blocks real growth and prevents us from learning the lessons that suffering [when 'not resisted'] can teach!
