A Purpose to Suffering?

What is it about suffering that keeps so many at ease? There are choices in life that we know are better options, but we opt away from them. Do we feel more comfortable when feeling pain?

I have discovered in life that the deeper one falls, the higher they are able to go. With that perspective, suffering serves a purpose. But, how long is too long to suffer? Or rather, how long do you need to be down to spring back up, having gained a new perspective?

Everybody suffers. What we choose to do with this suffering is what separates us from the rest of humanity. Do we soak in the newly created view from below, or wait until the opportune time to revel from above?
