Pain does not give us pleasure and we do not wish to associate with suffering in our daily lives. However, misery sometimes conveys messages which can be helpful to resolve other problems. For instance, sometimes when we experience a headache, this situation enables us to discover other bigger health issues we may have. Thus, we might not like the pain, but sometimes certain kinds of suffering can help us to avoid more serious problems. Therefore, we have to look at the whole situation and not just one narrow angle.
