The present study embarks on the concept of suffering and its meaning patterns from the point of view of the existentialist philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard. It is inspired by both the existentialist philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard and the inexorability of suffering world-wide and the inescapability of it in every culture. Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard is known as the father of existentialism. The whole existentialist thinking has its roots in the philosophy and the mystic-religious teachings of Kierkegaard. According to Kierkegaard, suffering is the highest subjective truth. He has discussed the concept of suffering in the context of religiosity. To understand Kierkegaard's treatment of suffering, we must understand that Kierkegaard always discusses it from the point of view of various stages of life or life orientations. There are three basic stages, namely, aesthetic, ethical and religious. Among these three stages, he considers the religious mode of existence as the highest and existentially creative. This stage is the stage of highest subjectivity in which a subjective individual can understand the highest subjective truth that is suffering. This subjectivity is understood and explained as authenticity. The authenticity of the subject is existential which is concerned with the inward feeling of the individual. For Kierkegaard, only an authentic being can enjoy freedom. Human beings are absolutely free in making decisions, choices and doing actions. Since, man is absolutely free to choose and therefore she/he is responsible for what she/he chooses; and as a result of her/his choice, she/he is also responsible for own suffering.
