Becoming Through Suffering—The Path to Health and Holiness

Abstract

The mission of caring is the alleviation of human suffering and the serving of life and health. This article addresses continually relevant questions within the field of caring science: What is holiness? Which path do humans take to entity and holiness—the path of health and suffering? and What is the significance of caring? Humans’ inner ethos, the fundamental value of life and ability to adhere to ethos, forms the dynamic movement toward entity and holiness. Humans bear within themselves an everlasting desire for love and communion, to be able to participate in the “original drama.”
