Most of us go all the way to avoid our own suffering, why should we deliberately take on someone else’s suffering?
If I take on another’s suffering for a higher purpose, the feeling is much different from enduring my own suffering. My own suffering gives me a sense of helplessness; however, taking on another’s suffering grants me a sense of altruism.

我们可能会认为：我要解决自己的痛苦都来不及了，哪有心思再去体谅别人的痛苦？
如果我是为了一个更崇高的目标去承担别人的痛苦、就跟我自己受苦是完全不一样的。自己受苦是无助的，承担别人的苦是主动发心的。
