This has been an ongoing discussion in my therapy. I think it is part of the existential crisis of trying to find yourself and the pain of past experiences. My therapist recently asked me if I thought people suffered for a reason. I think suffering is inevitable and part of the human condition, but I'm not sure that all suffering is productive or a means to an end. I want to believe that, I want to believe there is a reason for everything. But I think my heart believes that sometimes there is suffering that is unwarranted and unfair, which is why I try to battle back against it in my own little corner of the world.

I think spirituality and suffering and Karma are all items that should be open to discussion. Perhaps we are suppose to find meaning in our own suffering, and acceptance...but it is really hard.
