Keywords: man; suffering; theology; therapy; value; non-value

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary world relates itself to theology and medical therapy, differently. Some people attach great importance to either one, or the other of the two ways of approach, regarding human existence. Others accept them both, saying that both contribute to a man’s better framing in his inexorable, historical destiny. There are also people, who radically exclude either theology – as a means of remedy against suffering –, or medical therapy – as a life normalizing solution. This is so, but it really is not. It is, because we are accustomed to operate with polarizing, contrasting judgments, like value versus non-value. And it is not, because from the beginning of the human being’s exile into our time-consuming history, theology and therapy strove to ameliorate the drama of a man touched by the unforeseen, and comfort him in front of the implacable tragedies.
