Send me a messageWhy do we exist? Are we here to suffer? Is life a tragedy? Or, is life a cosmic joke? Are we the punchline? Is the joke on us? Sometimes, it's easy to wonder why we are here on this Earth if life is so full of suffering. But one thing is clear; there is a way out of this suffering.
