Look, the romantic notion of suffering being somehow virtuous is plain stupid. We come here to 3D, experience some form of "pain" or "hurt" due to some lack of balance yet to be addressed, then dramatize this pain which results in the creation of "suffering". A suffering condition is not virtuous in itself because it involves no consciousness nor any dedication whatsoever, all it is is an ad hoc reaction to a separation imposed by one's imbalance.
