Summary/Abstract: Suffering is the most difficult reality of the human being, it is the fundamental human truth, it overwhelms the man and not only through natural pressure, but also through its metaphysical difficulty of finding a sense to it. In addition to religion (especially the christian one) or faith, suffering has no explanation, it is absurd and makes the very existence absurd; only religion can explain the suffering, proving that suffering has no being in itself, but it is an accident and proving that sin explains the human degradation as a responsibility, in other words the free spirit. Suffering, in the Holy Scripture, is considered an undesirable occurrence in the created world, by the free act of fall sin entered the world, suffering came with it, as a conflict and pain, decomposition, hard labor and death.
