Sometimes I feel like why only the normal people suffer? Why not all those who are rich and successful suffer. But in reality those are the people who suffer the most. And that leads to the point where we can say nobody escapes the suffering. Some sort of the suffering exists for all people.
So how does the suffering works?

When You Have Dreams You Suffer
Do you want to be rich? do you want to be knowledgeable? do you want to achieve something then you will suffer. You are not going to get what you want unless you suffer. That is how the real life works. You have to keep on suffering to get better. It happens that you end up in suffering even if you don't want it.
When You Have expectations from people or events You Suffer
Do you love someone? or something or waiting for something to happen? Such expectations can get you to suffer more. And that means you are going to be seeing more suffering something which can't be escaped. So keeping expectations is a formula for the suffering.
When People get in your way You Suffer
Sometimes we are not just strong and if we have collision with other people we tend to suffer. And so we have to think of how to find our own way but people get into the way. And so the suffering happens any way. Some of the time we have to think of how we can manage the things but we can't anticipate how other people get in the way.
Life is pretty unpredictable and we can't calculate and imagine that we can avoid the suffering. We have to understand that suffering can't be escaped. So it's always about how you respond instead of reacting.
Conclusion
In our life happiness and sadness is something comes in cycle and in that journey the constant is the suffering. One way or the other we are going to suffer the journey.
Do you think life is with suffering or without?
