In life, suffering is very important. In the absence of suffering, we would never grow up or become mature. It is suffering which brings forth courage in us. It is suffering which makes us brave. Without suffering, where are we? Nowhere.

I agree with you. Suffering strengthen you. Suffering tells you to look for the secret of life without suffering. It is like quenching steel to make it harder to make a tool out of it. Thus God/Nature/Life gives you suffering so that you are hardened into tool shape others also along with shaping yourself.

Yes, suffering will test human characteristics. It will add strong human values to a person. These values can worth a fortune to that person. It's these values that will determine the future of that person, whether he or she wants to be rich, happy, famous and etc. The proof is, most of the successful people in this world, had to go through a lot of suffering before they experience the good times that we all can only dream of. The hard times made them grow, and possess the human values required for them to be successful.
