inevitable‚ people need to learn how to overcome it instead of grieving forever. Humans don’t just suffer‚ they fight through what caused them to suffer and learn something in the process. Suffering is often compared to a labyrinth in “Looking For Alaska”‚ and rightfully so. A labyrinth is essentially a maze which you can easily get lost in.
