Chosen people

Based on what I've seen and experienced, at least one of the purposes of life is to achieve happiness through overcoming suffering. Happiness isn't the absence of obstacles, but having the ability, knowledge, and strength to overcome them. The belief has at least helped me to deal with things. I mean, if we're born to suffer, doesn't that mean that we're meant to learn how live?

Some people are born as waste locks, beings made solely to absorb human suffering for everyone elses sake.
But you aren't one, and all of your suffering is your own fault.

Were here for that reason. Many of us. Our lives, can't be the way we want them in this reality. The more you say it is, the less I believe you are intelligent enough to know the difference. Maybe it's social media. Maybe we are tired of stupidity. Somethin' ain't right.

That was nice. Thank you

Everyone's chosen, it's up to you if you will realize it.

Too vague of a statement. Is the suffering of a child at the hands of their abusive parents/guardians/captors their own fault? A child does not have the capacity to overcome great trauma, so the suffering they "allow" themselves to experience is not from their own conscious doing.
With such a statement you could say that merely choosing to live is the same as choosing to suffer. I disagree with this perspective to the matter since its vague language implies to the ordinary reader that the best option to free yourself of suffering is to end your life.
The only thing that we can have control over is our response to suffering, and as long as we aren't apathetic towards every single aspect of life, then we can only hope to learn better ways to accept the pain and discomfort we may feel in response to something.

(tl;rd) our suffering is not our fault. We can never truly prevent the world from inflicting pain onto our vessels. The only thing we can have control over is our response to suffering. We can either let the blows take us out or we can learn to live in harmony with them. You can't blame a man for not striving to reach this harmony either, unless he refuses to learn and do what must be done while being completely aware of what he is neglecting.
