Suffering, or pain in a broad sense, is an experience of unpleasantness and aversion associated with the perception of harm or threat of harm in an individual. Suffering is the basic element that makes up the negative valence of affective phenomena.
Suffering may be qualified as physical or mental. It may come in all degrees of intensity, from mild to intolerable. Factors of duration and frequency of occurrence usually compound that of intensity. Attitudes toward suffering may vary widely, in the sufferer or other people, according to how much it is regarded as avoidable or unavoidable, useful or useless, deserved or undeserved.
Suffering occurs in the lives of sentient beings in numerous manners, and often dramatically. As a result, many fields of human activity are concerned, from their own points of view, with some aspects of suffering. These aspects may include the nature of suffering, its processes, its origin and causes, its meaning and significance, its related personal, social, and cultural behaviors, its remedies, management, and uses.
Frederick Antony Ravi Kumar Zacharias (born 1946) is an Indian-born, Canadian-American evangelical Christian apologist. Zacharias is the author of numerous Christian books, including Gold Medallion Book Award winner Can Man Live Without God? and bestsellers Light in the Shadow of Jihad and The Grand Weaver. He is the founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, host of the radio programs Let My People Think and Just Thinking, and visiting professor at Wycliffe Hall of Oxford, where he teaches apologetics and evangelism. Zacharias studied as a visiting scholar at Cambridge University and held the chair in Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminary from 1981 to 1984. Commentator Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time."
Zacharias was born in Madras, India. Zacharias claims descent from a woman (of the Nambudiri Brahmin caste) and a low caste Boatman. Missionaries spoke to one of his ancestors about Christianity and thereafter the family was converted. Zacharias grew up in a nominal Anglican household, and he himself was an atheist until the age of 17, when he unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide by swallowing poison. While in the hospital, a local Christian worker brought him a Bible and instructed his mother to read to him out of John 14. Zacharias says that it was John 14:19 that touched him and caused him to commit his life to Christ.
Johns Hopkins (May 19, 1795 – December 24, 1873) was an American entrepreneur, abolitionist and philanthropist of 19th-century Baltimore, Maryland.
His bequests founded numerous institutions bearing his name, including Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
A biography entitled Johns Hopkins: A Silhouette written by his cousin, Helen Hopkins Thom, was published in 1929 by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
Johns Hopkins was born on May 19, 1795, to Samuel Hopkins (1759–1814) of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and Hannah Janney (1774–1864), of Loudoun County, Virginia. Home was Whitehall, a 500-acre (two km²) tobacco plantation in Anne Arundel County. His first name derives from a maternal great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who passed it on to her son.
The Hopkins family were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). In 1807 they emancipated their slaves in accordance with their local Society decree, which called for freeing the able-bodied and caring for the others, who would remain at the plantation and provide labor as they could. The second eldest of eleven children, 12 year-old Johns was required to work on the farm, interrupting his formal education. From 1806 to 1809, he likely attended The Free School of Anne Arundel County, which was located in today's Davidsonville, Maryland.

Eckhart Tolle (German pronunciation: [ˈɛk.haʁt ˈtʰɔ.lə], English: /ˈɛ.kʰɑrt ˈtʰɒ.lə/; born 1948) is a German-born Canadian resident, best known as the author of the The Power of Now and A New Earth, which were written in English. In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world. In 2008, a New York Times writer called Tolle "the most popular spiritual author in the [United States]."
Tolle says he was depressed for much of his life until he underwent, at age 29, an "inner transformation", then spent several years wandering and unemployed "in a state of deep bliss" before becoming a spiritual teacher. Later, he moved to North America where he began writing his first book, The Power of Now, which was published in 1997 and reached the New York Times Best Seller lists in 2000. Tolle settled in Vancouver, Canada, where he has lived for more than a decade.
The Power of Now and A New Earth sold an estimated three million and five million copies respectively in North America by 2009. In 2008, approximately 35 million people participated in a series of 10 live webinars with Tolle and television talk show presenter Oprah Winfrey. Tolle's books and teachings have stimulated much commentary from theologians and journalists. Tolle is not identified with any particular religion, but his work has been influenced by a wide range of spiritual teachings.
I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that you're involved in
Since you're gone you'd be impressed
To know I, too, have been evolving
But I don't think you comprehend
I've been suffering
Yeah, I've been suffering
Guess I'll be suffering up around the bend
This love is a cancer in me
I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light in the world
Well, I found me a new friend
I've been suffering
Yeah, I've been suffering
Guess I'll be suffering up around the bend
I hung around in a leather bar
They threw me on the cement
Slept all night in my plastic car
Got in an accident
I brushed by you in the supermart
And I had me a touch of what's real
It was real when you crushed me with your steel
Black clouds roll through my mind
Who says anyway these halls are sovereign?
I am a hater of the human kind
So keep away, this heart's not softening
No, I don't think that it's the end of this suffering
Yeah, I've been suffering
I've been suffering
I've been suffering
Well did you notice
What's wrong with me
No I can't even breathe
When my head's low
It's not with shame
It's from this pain you bring
Well I can feel it again
This loss is slowly crushing me
Through all this pain and suffering
I need you back in my arms
After all this pain and suffering
I want you back in my arms
Do you like my frown
I had a smile once
You turned it upside down
Make amends with me
No I can't even see
She lies awake for days suffering in misery
No one to hold her close and give her what she really needs
Blood flows like a busted nose
Red fluid drains down and it stains your clothes
No rest no strength ain't been fed in days
Down in the cellar kept you locked away
My one true love and I said I adored you
Walks in the parks so I never ignored you
We held hands in the dark as the band played
Looked you in you eyes told you never to be afraid
I knew it wouldn't last but I wanted you forever
Had to find a way for us to stay together
That's when it happened and the thoughts came clear
A smile on my face as i whispered in your ear
Come walk with me come walk into the night
Sip champagne with me lay beside the candle light
I took her hand and the last word said
I made her mine forever with a blow to the head
She lies awake for days suffering in misery
No one to hold her close and give her what she really needs
I know I want to see here be with her all throught the night
And so I'm waiting for her last goodbye
It was a song walk her over my shoulder
Thinking about the moments and the things tat I told her
Throught the swamp through the fields
Past an old barn I never felt so alive my baby in my arms
I looked down at the ground I saw her blood drop
Had to get her back fast couldn't lose her on the trip
So many things that I needed us to do
I call it love others might call it taboo
But I don't give a f**k her happiness is all I need
Pleasure that she's looking for when I make her bleed
Down on her knees praying for the first injection
Loving is to suffer have her praying for the resurrection
At my doorstep sat her down let us in
Looked in her pretty face wiped the blood from her chin
Over the threshold i swept this girl right off her feet
The time is getting near for thsi fairytale to be complete
She lies awake for days suffering in misery
No one to hold her close or give her what she really needs
I know I want to see here be with her all throught the night
And so I'm waiting for her last goodbye
Down the stairs around the corner to her new home
Coming to her senses and she's knowing something's going up
Eyes glazed she looked at me as if to say
Tell me what you've done and please make this all go away
But no words no sound from her precious lips
She reached and touched me softly with her broken bloody fingertips
The tear fell reality was sinking in
In utter shock and disbelief at this unforgiven sin
The smell of death like a reminder echoes through the walls
Knowing that she sits all alone down those darkened halls
I want to hold her touch her lay beside her never leave
But the sadness on her face will never let it be
And so she sits and stares just waiting for her final breath
A mix of love and broken heart wishing for her death
And on this night I sit here waiting for the end
When i can walk those darkened halls and be with her again
She lies awake for days in misery
No one to hold her close or give her what she really needs
I know I want to see here be with her all throught the night
Autumn is here inside my heart
When there's springtime in the air
Loneliness is tearing me apart
Being lost makes me scared
I keep on asking the gods above to send my love back to me
Oh please let these days and weeks
Pass by so quickly
Nobody suffers like I do
Nobody else, oh no
Nobody suffers like I do
Nobody else but you
You had to leave, I know
And we knew it would be tough
You said you would be back soon
Soon is not soon enough
Through this waiting in vain
All this darkness and pain
I've been crying for you, now I'm dying
When this test is at the end
I hope you'll understand
That you're all that I've got
I never walk away from the pain
I push right through all the lies
How did we come so far?
How did we come so far?
Inside, I never had your back
Inside, I never wanted to be loved by you
This is a fucking war
And when the time is right
You'll finally see your lies
And where will your family be?
You always fool yourself into what is right
There's no future in what you see
There's no future in what you want to be
You're not the same to me
You've changed for worse
You're changing this for the worst in time maybe
You'll realize what you've done this time around
I know your fine but I'm dying inside, help me
I'm fucking dying inside of me
Oh my God, who was I to judge?
It's your life but don't forget about me
I'm one of you, your blood runs through me
Stop living a lie, you're fucking killing me
Let's sit back and relax and get comfortable
Now close your eyes, now make it right
Don't point your finger at me
Don't you know it's you why you're suffering?
You're why you're suffering
I've got my mind set at ease
Don't you know it's you why you're suffering?
You're why you're suffering
I've got my reasons to live
Don't you know it's you why you're suffering?
You're why you're suffering
I've got my mind set at ease
Don't you know it's you why you're suffering?
You're why you're suffering
You are your suffering
I suffer
And writhe in pain
The agony I feel
Bares your name
I’m trapped
In this hell you create
Your lack of love
Fuels my hate
I live for tomorrow
But I die each day
I’m lost in sorrow
Take the suffering away
I remember when there wasn’t any pain
I remember when it didn’t hurt
I laugh
At the promise you made
The stab in the back
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx blade
I scream
At your lies and all
The depths of this misery
From the nightmare you cause
I live for tomorrow
But I die each day
I’m lost in sorrow
Take the suffering away
I’ll show you what it’s like to suffer
Know what it’s like to wanna die
Take your life – suicide
This agony you caused me
I need to end – the suffering
Suffer – suffering – suffer
I suffer
And writhe in pain
This agony I feel
Bares your name
I’m trapped
In this hell you create
Your lack of love
Fuels my hate
I live for tomorrow
But I die each day
I’m lost in sorrow
Take the suffering away
Take the suffering away
Take the suffering away
Take the suffering away
The Lord is my strength and my song
He has become my salvation
He is my God and I will praise Him
My father's God and I will exalt him
May the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart
Be pleasing in your sight o Lord
My rock and my redeemer
The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid
Into your hands I commit my spirit
Redeem me o Lord God of truth
The Lord redeems His servants
No one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him
My soul finds rest in God alone
My salvation comes from Him
God wants for all to be saved
Suffering, suffer a thousand deaths
All I have, go down
All the pain, pain that I’m bleeding out
All my heart, go down
Why don’t you believe I am your fate
Why don’t you believe I am your fate
It’s always coming back again
The same connection to your fear
A fallen creation drawing near
The same connection to your fear
A fallen
Suffering, suffer a thousand deaths
All I have, go down
All the pain, pain that I’m bleeding out
All my heart, go down
Why don’t you believe I am your fate
Why don’t you believe I am your fate
It’s always coming back again
The same connection to your fear
A fallen creation drawing near
The same connection to your fear
The only way we´re going now is there
Why, don’t you go down
Same
The same connection to your fear
A fallen creation drawing near
The same connection to your fear
Finally,
Ive found something that,
Completes me,
But how long will.
You watch it all go by,
As you keep looking to the sky.
Cause im suffering,
Suffering everytime you leave,
Wont let you just run away,
Cause i cant escape,
All the suffering.
Finally,
Ive found someone who,
Completes me,
But how long will.
You watch your life go by,
As you keep looking to the sky.
Cause im suffering,
Suffering everytime you leave,
Wont let you just run away,
Cause i cant escape,
All the suffering.
I cant break them,
Its hard enough to speak when,
You break me down,
Im alone again.
I dont feel it,
I know cant you see that,
You break me down,
Im alone again.
Cause im suffering,
Suffering everytime you leave,
Wont let you just run away,
Cause i cant escape,
All the suffering.
Cause im suffering,
Chance, just one more chance at what you pride
Reasons will never let you hide
That's not considering it's all the same
Time, glimpsing the moment in my eyes
Pushing me harder than you try
Just cause, you've given me what I should hate
I lost myself to you
Now I can't see so clearly
Now my decisions they bring me confusion
My only solution to rid them is throw you away
As this time goes passing by
I see myself surrounded by a place in pain
It's the world I see who's suffering
Yes we're suffering
Taste, tasting a bit of what you crave
Destined to never come your way
All sensibility has gone away
Rage, constantly flowing through my veins
A victim of disparity is what you gain
I lost myself to you
Now I can't see so clearly
Now my decisions they bring me confusion
My only solution to rid them is throw you away
As this time goes passing by
I see myself surrounded by a place in pain
It's the world I see who's suffering
Yes we're suffering
Endless days won't last forever
See myself held back inside
This painful wall would you set me free
Cause I'm suffering yes I'm suffering
Well I gotta get out
Your running away caught ya steeling one time
Picking up pieces you thought were all right
Don't like the feeling with the top rolled down, no
Now your piecing together what you think is life
Rage has not seen what is seen through my eyes
Don't like the feeling with the top rolled down
You'll hat the feeling so here's where you fall on your face
when in the world
there is so much pain
so much pain
for those who suffer
are there those who do not suffer
will there be those who do not suffer
when in the world
those that you love
create and cause the suffering
there is so much suffering
going through the world
going through the world
we have lost our way
if they keep their way
Stop listen what do you hear lies hatred mixed with fear,
why do hide what you really feel, open your eyes and be
your true self. not every man is made steel, i dont know
why you act this way its you sufferin day by day. Live
your life for yourself your dreams and visions are only a
step on this ladder called life, use them to achieve your
Autumn is here inside my heart
When there's springtime in the air
Loneliness is tearing me apart
Being lost makes me scared
I keep on asking the gods above
to send my love back to me
Oh please let these days and weeks
Pass by so quickly
Nobody suffers like I do

Through this waiting in vain
All this darkness and pain
I've been crying for you, now I'm dying
When this test is at the end
I hope you'll understand
That you're all that I've got
Oh darling
Will we suffer here forever?
Will we drown in endless sea?
Our pain is unbearable
our hearts still scream to Thee
Only love will last forever
despite the pain and agony
faith will open gates to Eden
on the Earth Your Divine Realm...
God You still wait
while my life's
full of pain
God you still wait
when our lives
fade
God let us stay
this seductive dream
turn to real life
let neither pain
...even death
I am love, I am hate
I destroy, I create
A distinction of animal grace
I attack what I protect
I'm the cure and I infect
A behaviour of true savage race
I suspect what I trust
Remorse when I lust
What's in reach through guilt out of touch
Every pleasure is of pain
Every effort is in vain
It just feels like I'm trying too much
I wonder why I'm still suffering
Suffering, suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering
I'm suffering suffering
I am first, I am last
The presence and the past
I'm the quieting core of alarm
I'm your enemy and friend
The beginning of the end
All the chaos surrounding the calm
Every truth is a lie
Gotta live, gotta die
One man's wrong is another man's right
Every fact is belief
Every poet is a thief
Another time you seize my day
Wont you try another way
I am not the one you love
you cast the spell so take it off me
Offerings easy to see
You warm me in your pillory
Offensive is your style of play
Reflections for what`s holy
Infection of my faith
Betray my soul it´s suicide
Use all worries I am in
To get me out of pain
and make me suffering
Youre wrapped around my soul
Warmin` my mind
Just trying all the time
Let`s get suffering
Wrapped around my thoughts
Leaving us behind ......dying all the time
Wrapped around my soul
Warmin` my mind
Suddenly I'm on your way
You love it if I´m here to stay
You are not the one I love
So don`t pretend and take it off me
Fairy tale it`s not for me
It`s like a living misery
All the tricks to get me in
Reflections for what´s holy
Infection of my faith
Betray my soul it´s suicide
Use all worries I am in
To get me out of pain
and make me suffering
You´re wrapped around my soul
Warmin` my mind
Just trying all the time
Let`s get suffering
Wrapped around my thoughts
Leaving us behind ......dying all the time
Wrapped around my soul
The taste of life disappears.
The flavour of all the years.
Breath is flying away.
Life is ending today.
No more suffering.
No more suffering only love.
Through lives you don't understand.
The mysteries of this land.
The colours fade into grey.
Life is ending today.
No more suffering.
