The way we accept suffering depends upon our mental attitude and understanding of life. Without the real understanding of life we will surrender to suffering and never come out of it. People who are wise and understand life, get a lift from this suffering and their life becomes richer in the process. For them suffering is more important than happiness. Some people blame others for their suffering and think negatively about it. They suffer even more. The blame lies within them. Suffering, sins, good deeds and karma all spring from within us. Everything else is just an excuse. So why find fault with the excuse. For the one who gets deeper understanding and knowledge that fault lies with him gets true benefit from suffering. Suffering takes you much deeper in understanding of the self than happiness. Happiness keeps you at a superficial level while suffering takes you much deeper in the region of understanding. This is true for those who accept suffering with deep knowledge and decide to explore it. But for the most who do not think about it suffering continues.
