I think its very important to learn that all the sufferings and great things in our life both taught us things and gave us opportunities to learn from.
Someone told me once...a mature soul can cherish both the good and bad, for they see both molded and shaped them to where and who they are today. Look at the suffering in the world on a larger scale. How could we know that we can do better globally, without having the mirror to look in of the ones that suffer. One day a mature world can look back and see all the bad and good things that happened on this Earth had something to offer that was needed.
How do we know the worth of 'being' without the knowing of death and that life is short? Would we know to make the best of every day and every moment...if we lived for hundreds of years? Would we know the worth of love without experiencing what the lack of love causes?
I too went through the times of reading all that I could. I now...read life.
Loved your posts! I think you are on the right track in seeing that even the times that we suffer....provide us with something.
