About This Quote

Suffering is a powerful emotion that can bring a person to their knees. It makes a person feel as if they are experiencing a new level of pain that they have never felt before. That first time a person experiences suffering, they will either feel so much pain that they will be overcome with it or so much relief that they will feel as if they have been released from something. With this quote, we can infer that suffering can be extremely powerful and powerful at the same time.

No matter what kind of suffering the experience, it is something most people will never want to forget. For instance, we know that if someone is affected by the Holocaust or the 9/11 attacks, those memories will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
