I will Reason about the subject of the Reasoning. I will just first make a comment about fasting.
Another Itation of fasting is to Learn to control your body, so that the I can resist the hunger for food. About suffering, I guess it depends on how a person would view suffering. When I and I completely fast, with just the amount of water needed to survive, not using water to help with hunger, or for a short time without even water, depending on the strength of One; the hunger pains that come and go could be considered a suffering in a way. But what I and I must never do in a fast is to deal with the vibes of suffering. Feel the pain, but don't bring suffering into your Irits because of pain, instead, challenge it and defeat it. It even says in the scriptures that I and I should never put on a sorrow face when fasting, to advertise that we are doing so, but instead to trod strong and not let anybody know that I and I is fasting.
The good thing about occasionally fasting in this manner, is that when I and I Learn to control our temptation of hunger, it is another step in Learning to control other temptations triggered by the reaction of our physical system to its surroundings.

"We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love"
---------------
If I take the quote as is, without the rest of it. If there is Pure Love, than Selassie I is I and I shield and buckler, and I and I will not suffer, unless I and I choose to suffer to deal with a certain task. But two things makes that statement very true, one is because I and I all have Love to different degrees, but there is almost none that have Pure Love, as the Most High Selassie I Loves in Purity. The second thing is that we are in a world where there is too little Love in general. So I and I suffer because I and I are in surroundings that bring sufferation, and because I and I don't have enough Love yet to overcome that. And what makes it even worse, in a surroundings like this, the people with more Love end up suffering more, because those with low love come and take and abuse, but don't give, and many others who also give Love, don't look at the Ones giving Love as those that need Love. Love often makes a person suffer in silence, because they Love their brother or sister too much to burden them with their suffering. After all, I and I are to bear the burden of I and I brothers and sisters.
Don't put too much concentration in suffering. Feel it and Trod through, correct things if things need to be corrected, but Trod through with I and I I-centration on the Joy that comes. Because the Joy in Life is Strength, and too often people don't notice the Joy pass Right in front of them because their concentration is on the negative. So instead of grabbing the Joy to gather strength, the Joy trods through until someOne else gathers it.
One thing I knew to be true when I first started I trod, is that there would be a period of suffering and problems, and I didn't know how long that period would be. I accepted the Trod set for I and accepted the cleansing that would come through sufferation. Some will suffer physically, some emotionally, some financially, and many other forms, and it is usually a mixture of some of the different forms.
I and I must Sight that I and I live in a world of people that are far from the Creator, and refused to accept I and I role in Creation, the role that was set in place from the beginning.
So when I and I come out of that, I and I must purge and blaze out all the wickedness within. And in that process of cleansing, sufferation comes because there is a lot to clean. Filth that has piled up for more generations then people can count, must be removed, so that all that is left is Fire.
With that Love, that Fire that will burn within, I and I will be able to smile and have Joy, even when I and I are at the lowest of lows. I and I will even sometimes feel Joy at the very same moment I and I are feeling pain. As I and I clean from the beginning, the suffering will become worse for a time, and then after the lowest point, the suffering will start to fade until it is finally defeated. I and I just must make sure that I and I don't be blind to any goodness or Joy that passes by, and to build in Strength, and build in Purity, and resist going back.
Remember that everytime a person goes back, they will have to repeat the period of sufferation that they already passed through, only the form of it might change.
Forward Iver, backward never.
