Más allá del dolor

Suffering is part of life because life is change, since it is necessary to evolve; It is, in short, a natural alert mechanism to warn us that there is something to modify. Adversities generate emotions and feelings that force us to act. There is human-caused suffering, caused by violence of all kinds, that requires the intervention of the human being himself to be resolved. But there are also diseases and accidents of natural causes for which we do not have clear answers, and which are the origin of the religions that human beings have developed throughout their history. In this book, José Luis Guinot immerses himself in the search for a meaning of suffering, breaking it down into each dimension: physical, chronic pain, illness, suffering due to human relationships, daily, anticipated, unnecessary, social or spiritual. He reflects on philosophical and religious responses and describes the attitudes we adopt in the face of suffering. And he raises some keys to understand, share, act and transform the meaning we give it, and transcend it to discover meaning. An urgent task if we want something to change and suffering does not become chronic, causing even more suffering.
