Deciphering the appropriate suffering to embrace and the appropriate suffering is a complex issue to solve. Embracing and accepting are two distinct mindsets and should be considered individually. Embracing requires action. Embracing suffering, by definition, requires voluntarily subjecting yourself to some level of suffering. Therefore, this suffering should be productive. Theconsequences of this embrace should be viewed as positive at some point in time. It should be healthy. Accepting suffering is part of Existentialist philosophy. The term Existentialism was adopted as a self-description by French playwright Jean-Paul Sartre and became identified with a cultural movement that flourished in Europe in the 1940s and 50s, although nineteenth-century philosophers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche were viewed as the precursors to the movement (1). Existentialism does not deny the usefulness of basic categories such as physics, biology, psychology, and other sciences, nor does it deny the validity of moral values and categories such as intention, blame, responsibility, character, duty and virtue (1). Whilst these both illuminate the human condition, the light shone is not bright enough according to Existentialists. Authenticity is the missing ingredient.
