Buddhist way life has a centrality on suffering. Individuals are encouraged to explore suffering and the main causes of suffering. Buddhism tries to demolish one's self. The noble truths have a lot to do with suffering. First, suffering is our existence, second suffering is caused by craving, wanting or desirousness, third freedom from suffering can be secured, and finally the way out of suffering is to follow the path. Before one can do anything about his or her suffering they have to be aware of it. Suffering is our existence according to Buddhist beliefs. In the Christian belief followers are taught to expect pain and hardship, but that it's not their purpose in life. Their purpose is to glorify god and they shouldn’t only expect suffering
