Would you trade suffering for happiness?

[Anonymous]

The question is would you trade your suffering for being happy later?

I would trade little suffering for little happiness

I would trade little suffering for big happiness, but not for little happiness.

I would trade big suffering for little happiness.

I would trade big suffering for big happiness, but not for little happiness.

Since I don't think that I have any suffering right now and I feel that I am happy, I see no reason for me to trade something I don't have for something I have.

I guess that later when life has taken a toll on me I would perhaps trade a little suffering for the equal amount of happiness. Are we talking about physical suffering or emotional suffering. I have a pretty good pain threshold and I could trade some of it for happiness.

What I would not want to give away is my happiness, regardless of what happens in my life.
