The user known as Rice should be my DDO girlfriend.

My case is as follows: Not affirming causes suffering People wouldn't be able to see such an amazingly attractive pair of people together and thus the people of DDO would suffer greatly. I would not be able to have the same long conversations with WSA whether it be through the phone, Skype, or IM and thus I would suffer due to the lack of having a great listener and conversationalist at my side. I would also suffer because I would not be with WSA who was my first DDO crush. The inevitable multitude of our super-libertarian children (who would also be amazingly good looking) would never come into existence and thus would never be able to take over the world and leave everyone alone. Therefore the entire world would suffer. We should embrace suffering in order to affirm life Suffering and loss are inevitable parts of the chaotic world in which we live so the negative enables us to find meaning and lead a joyful life despite crises. We cannot bear meaningless suffering and so we give it a meaning. Modes of thought give suffering a a meaning essentially because people cannot bear meaningless suffering. For example, Christianity explains suffering as punishment. However in the fact that suffering just happens, it will repeat, it will always exist, from there we can see that meaning exists, it lies in the meaningless. When we see this we see that embracing "eternal recurrence" of suffering allows us to not find any shame in this suffering, there can't be any guilt, suffering cannot be seen as punishment any longer because of the "innocence of existence", as suffering will happen inevitably. What is important about this is that when one acknowledges that no matter what, suffering will occur in our chaotic world in which we were plunged into, when one is able to embrace this "eternal recurrence" one changes or turns the "it was" into rather the "thus I willed it". In doing so we are breaking the stranglehold that suffering had previously imposed upon us by controlling our actions so that we seek to avoid this suffering. Instead by embracing it we gain control of it. Professor Philip of the University of Saint Clara gives this example, "One might think of an athlete who engages in more and more strenuous activity, accepts greater and greater pain, handles it better and better, and sees this as a sign of greater strength, as a sign of increased ability. Pain and suffering are turned into empowerment" When we accept suffering, we will it, we would not change the slightest detail essentially, and then we are able to love it. As suffering is inevitable within our world we are then able to gain control over our lives and strengthen ourselves, to do otherwise patronizes us and strips us of our dignity. Therefore as suffering is inevitable in our lives, the impacts of me (Rice) not being WSA's DDO girlfriend causes suffering, in order to have control over my life, to empower myself, I must will this suffering to break the previous phycological stranglehold suffering had over my actions by not structuring my life around ways to avoid suffering.
