The Layers of Human Suffering

The suffering of an individual is personal; each human being has their way of dealing with pain; adults in general cope with losses better than children or adolescents. On the other hand, what happens to the child, adolescent, or adult; when individuals impose their intentions on others out of greed? What is the responsibility of society; do we standby and watch because it's not us; or a family member? Some of those children, adolescents, and adults will retaliate; then, who shares in the blame? Have we created a never-ending cycle of dysfunction that will end in our destruction?
