We've been looking at suffering on a personal level, and now Paul is pulling back the camera to get a macro view of the world. The environment and what we're going to do about it is a huge issue today.

When we go through suffering, it's a little easier if we can see the purpose. While we can't always see the purpose, we can see the results. It's still changing our character and shaping our personalities.
