Suffering, while originally caused by sin and therefore bad, is nonetheless something that God frequently uses. We all are in pain at times, and we can think that God doesn't understand or has forgotten us. And yet, we will find an answer to this in Samson's story.

Samson, with all his brilliance, becomes a symbol for all that's wrong with modern life. Is bigger necessarily better?
