 the goal is not to avoid suffering. to suffer is to be human. the goal is to learn to embrace the suffering, and do so with our fellow humans

 This is how I'm interpreting it. You embrace it by identifying what is causing it, and not letting it affect you afterwards.

 Yep, embrace it, never fear it, otherwise consume you it will. As we all know, fear leads to even more suffering by way of anger and hate. 😁
