Do you believe there is value in suffering?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 11, 2009:
Suffering is a way of life. Suffering is necessary to continue on your path and in Buddhism, you take suffering and you transform it in an accepting way. We as a people sometimes are over confident that nothing terrible could ever happen to us or hurt us in our invinciblity, but we are wrong. Because of this belief, when suffering strikes, it strikes harshly. Suffering can humble us in ways no one has seen before. Everyone will one day suffer, but no one should suffer endlessly. I think its a necessary companion of life.
