Why 'dwell' on suffering? Listener question

[Note from Clare: the description of 'Clare's way' in the question is not what I am suggesting in anyway] Isn't suffering simply thought - a temporary blip of energy passing through experience, in this moment upset-flavoured. And then that energy being felt in the senses (ie body). How can you HEAL a blip of energy? It seems you have the choice of 1. Clare's Way - sit and really let it be here as much as possible to allow for healing and use that same thinking to find a story to explain the suffering - usually based in the past. Say that equals 3 hours of upset a day due to dwelling on the low mood/feeling of rejection etc or 2. Three Principles - know from the feeling that you're in a low state of mind so everything  you're thinking right now is complete bullshit and ignore yourself for a bit. Not spiritual bypassing - there simply isn't anything 'real' here to bypass. Probably equals 1 hour of suffering a day due to no story-telling/dwelling.You often say 'but the suffering continues so we have no choice but to look at it' but it's going to either way so WHY YOURS?
