Hyperbole of Suffering
Suffering is expressed in many ways. But words do not always express the depth of what someone is experiencing. The Book of Job uses hyperbole in poetry to try to express some of this. This blog, and the book linked to it, shares findings from a palliative care physician’s experience on addressing the ultimate question behind suffering.
