We should not always be eager to escape suffering at all costs. Embracing suffering can be helpful, even therapeutic. It defeats the need for pleasure.
By the passionate and unbridled desire of living a life of pleasure, our minds are weakened, and if they do not entirely succumb, they become demoralized and miserably cower and sink under the hardships of the battle of life.
Suffering helps us realize that our earthly lives are temporary and the real goal is to strengthen our will for the good and to defeat evil. The eternal reward is heaven (everlasting peace).
