What important for us is to understand G-d's blessings and purpose within every suffering. How are we to conduct ourselves, what are we to think, and how do we receive divine blessings in times of adversity?
In Job's deepest suffering, his wife urged him to end his life, but he declared suicide to be folly. Yet, he cursed the day of his birth, a seemingly paradoxical act. This reveals Job's profound understanding of G-d's transcendence amidst his affliction. He recognized that even in his insignificance, he remained within G-d's gaze and keeping, and he comprehended the suffering G-d shares with humanity. So as not to cause G-d further pain on his account, Job expressed a preference for never having been born, thus cursing his birthday day.
Hopefully, we can share our personal sufferings and struggles, lest we, through lack of wisdom, endure a life of hardship and yet gain nothing of eternal value.
