Freedom from suffering is freedom

When we think of freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms come to mind. But, freedom from suffering has perhaps just as much value. If you are free from suffering, you are free. You might be free to speak what you will, and free to worship as you will, and free to tote a gun around, but if you suffer, you are not free. 

There is a saying, "If you've got your health, you've got everything." That saying perhaps points out how much we value freedom from suffering.
