  I would classify “suffering” as a particularly intense kind of “hurt”.

    You can be hurt but are not suffering and you can suffer without being hurt.

        The main difference is that suffering is internal while being hurt is an external factor that can lead to suffering. People suffer from all kind of things: sickness, being bored etc.
