The agonies of those who are falsely accused are of great concern to the living God, and He acts as their defender.
Max Anders

As a religious problem, the problem of suffering is, paradoxically, not how to avoid suffering but how to suffer, how to make of physical pain, personal loss, worldly defeat, or the helpless contemplation of others' agony something bearable, supportable- something as we say, sufferable.
Clifford Geertz
Image

That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
When you're not involved, other people's unhappiness seems to be about the funniest damn thing on earth because you think you can solve it, that you are God, that you are above this, and that their unhappiness is just such useless toil and agony. If it's you, it ceases to be a comedy.
