Hmmm...do I agree or not? Too tired to reason that one out, But as usual you have given me something to think about. :You-Rock:

Asha,

I'm glad you shared this with us cause I just posted about two older men who is growing old with lots of pains. But...One of them feels just like a baby, No teeth, no hair and just wet on himself!

Pain is inevitable no matter how you feel! Suffering is optional for sure, with my meds I don't suffer!

Asha Suffering itself may not be a choice the extent to which we make ourselves available to the extent of the suffering may be somewhat optional. Hugs to you dear friend for noting we never have to surrender all our options Karen
