Much like the last painting, this shows the physical suffering of soldiers during World War II. The soldiers are practically skeletons, looking malnourished.

Thinking of World War 2 and all of the wars in the world and the pain physically, mentally and emotionally that people had to go through and the impact that trickled everywhere else causes anyone to wonder if there is any point to why things like this happens.

The author is uncertain, but some Bible experts say it was Moses from Exodus in the Bible. Whoever physically wrote it is not as important as the one who inspired it, The Holy Spirit. He is the one who inspired all of the Bible's stories regardless of who physically wrote it or spoke of it.

About Suffering

BY ELISA GABBERT

Part of suffering is the useless urge to announce that you’re suffering.

There is no other way to say it: I’m suffering. Just to say “I suffer”

helps.

I read somewhere, “we become lyrical when we suffer.”

Happiness is suffering for the right reasons.

First-order suffering is second-order happiness.

You have to suffer for beauty? Because you have to suffer.

We pride ourselves on a high quality of suffering.

Turgenev was born in 1818 in the Province of Orel, and suffered

during his childhood from a tyrannical mother.

In the past their suffering was less absurd.

The problem is, everything’s worse. Like, paper or plastic? We’re all

still going to die suffering.

I value being alone with my thoughts, but it’s weird to say, “This

thing that makes us suffer less, we have to stop doing it.”

Isn’t it kind of the point of culture to assuage our feeling needless

and alone?

How does one suffer “gladly,” exactly?

At least the rich get to suffer in comfort.

It makes the life feel longer. Live to suffer another day.

One’s past suffering can be a great source of comfort. A torturous

luxury. Velvet upholstery.

Suffering is happiness, after forty minutes of desolate shuffling. The

point is, life is suffering.

About suffering, no one is ever wrong.

“This man was blameless and upright: he feared God and shunned evil.” Job 1:1

God allowed Satan to destroy his life Job 1:8-14

After all his children have been killed, his land and animals destroyed, and he lost everything he had that God had given to him he still praises God. Job 1:21-22

Then satan put sores all over his body and his wife left him but he still did not sin against God Job 2:10

Job curses the day he was ever born and questions God for allowing what happened to him and asks God to let him die

He goes through a period of depression, doubt, and questions God

He asks a lot of questions that we have all the time about God

He argues with his friends about his innocence and tries to justify himself, which he is right because even God said that he was a blameless and upright man

God starts questioning Job and asking him who created the world with all the details it has and that was his answer to Job about why he allowed what he did. Job 38-41
