I think that it doesn't matter WHAT you are, if you are suffering, you should be put out of your misery (like being in a coma for years and years or suffering from an incurable disease that causes you to die slowly and painfully, not something minor). Humans are really the only species that it isn't considered ethical to do mercy killings. If I was a cat, you would think nothing of putting me down if I had a terminal, extremely painful cancer, but because I'm human, I have to suffer?

I don't believe in God, so that isn't applicable, but if there was a god, I would say that he is very cruel for making people suffer as much as they do. There's trials, and then there is pure evil.

To answer your question, If someone truly loved me, they would want me to be happy and comfortable, not suffering and agonized....Show more

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Are you asking if it is possible to watch a person suffer and still love them? Or are you asking whether it is possible for a person to love you so much, that if need be, they will stand by and watch you suffer if that happens to be what is best for you.

You asked specifically about God. Well, I think that, yes, even though its true that there has been a huge amount of suffering in the world, and even though it might sometimes seem like God is just standing by and letting us tear each other apart, He is doing what He is doing for a reason. He sent us his son, so that his son could die for us, save us, and ultimately bring us to God. Because he loves us that much. (please don't be offended anyone, if you don't believe in God. This is just what I think)....Show more

I am only 14, but I have been though much. I think Yes, I believe true love IS suffering. Love is a passion. Giving it all with out holdin back, loving and caring without fear. This is love, this is passion, this is suffering.

Can we watch someone suffer? Aboslutely, and we try to help them most of the time. But because God IS love, he sent his son to suffer.

There cannot be love without suffering, and there can be no suffering without love. Kinda like without white, there can be no black, because without the black, the white has nothing to compare to....Show more

God doesn't like to watch us suffer. We put ourselves here. Eve ate the fruit and we are descendants of her. Your question makes no sense. No one that loves you would want you to suffer. If you come to Christ, you will suffer, but think of the reward of your loyalty. " If the Lord is for you who can be against you?" You will suffer, everyone will, but its your own fault for your suffering and other people's. You may be thinking of people who were born in poverty or little innocents born with HIV/AIDS, It is the doing of Satan. God doesn't want suffering, we chose it for ourselves....Show more
