Suffering is a purely subjective experience and it springs from the Ego's belief in separation. A proof for this can be found in the fact that the moment the Ego learns that someone else is apparently suffering of the same symptom or from the same cause it is feeling comforted in its suffering. However, the only way to end all your suffering is by ceasing to identify with the cause of suffering inherent in your own being. The moment you are transferring your main focus of consciousness to the level of your Higher Self you stop feeling yourself to be a victim in any way. Instead you are experiencing joy and gratitude at being alive and able to experience different states of existential orientation.
There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
