Is suffering necessary to existence?

is it a need or necessary? no... not as a "must require"

but it is unavoidable on consequence... because, even the good and great things we love and that are worth to all of us, can costs us a lot... and eventually lead to loss, and then suffering will be the result of that

often I do hear that... in order to know happiness you "must know" pain, and struggle, and from that point I do agree that perspective is NEEDED, but do we have to struggle that much and for so long that it actually turns into prolonged suffering? I don't think we need none of that... lol

unfortunately, it does happen sometimes... we can't escape that

Most humans suffer from, or because of, or with something at different points in their lives, even the uber wealthy (though I shudder to think what that is, but anyway... lol).
I'm not sure it's necessary, but it appears to be unavoidable.

There's no joy without pain and vice versa as there is no chaos without order and no order without chaos. So in short yes I beleive so.

@Nikki1989 I wish it were not, but as living beings, it seems impossible to avoid!!!

No one is in totally peace.
