Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?

Guys, ‘suffering is good’ is literally a Christian thing. Mother Theresa used it as an excuse not to treat people because ‘suffering brings you closer to God’.
It’s bullshit, of course. It was made up as an excuse for treating people badly and (surprise!) making more money that way.
But that’s where OP gets the idea from. Religious indoctrination.

Yup. Because she didn’t use the money she got to treat people properly.
