Why do we exist just to suffer? | #63 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn 🌞
When life feels heavy, it’s easy to believe that suffering is the point. In Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn #63, Dawn Super gently challenges that idea by exploring the difference between pain and suffering. Drawing from lived experience with chronic illness and hardship, this post asks what happens when you stop focusing on suffering and instead turn toward self-comfort and care. You’ll learn why suffering is often a state of mind, how choosing kindness toward yourself restores energy, and why enjoying what’s available—even when life is hard—is not wrong, selfish, or naive.

Why do we exist just to suffer? #63 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn
If you define anything in your life as suffering, this video is very important for you to listen to all the way to the end. In an earlier dose, I mentioned: if I wait until I feel better, I'll never get to do anything. So, my narcolepsy is my narcolepsy and I can't do anything about that. But what can I do something about?
Years ago now, I did an experiment on myself—I'll link the video in the comments.
What happens if I don't think about my suffering, either now or in the past (which was extensive)? What happens if, when my circumstances are weighing me down… when I'm really feeling like I'm suffering… I just look away, drown them out, focus on something else?
The short answer is: I feel better.
The longer answer is: it leads to you looking out for yourself more—being on your own side.
You exist to enjoy what there is here to enjoy. So it's okay to enjoy it even if life is hard.
Suffering is a state of mind.
So, when I feel like roadkill, I can sit here feeling lamenty pity party about it… or I can wrap myself in a blanket, comfort myself, and tell myself I'm doing a great job. I've tried it both ways—and the second way gives you a lot more go juice.
