Persistence and Suffering

Kierkegaard as a guide toward the persistence -- and beauty -- of suffering. He reveled in it; I don't. Suffering is the fly in an otherwise content life.

Suffering consciously inflicted upon oneself may, indeed, prove to be salvific: a redundant form of mortifying one's flesh. The soul needs peace and harmony, not additional pain.
