That's right. 

I understood the suffering as well as possible and identified the packaged wisdom that it carried. 

There was something in there that I knew but I didn't know yet. 

But instead of suppressing the suffering and PoWeRiGn THroOuGhb I decided to stop, rest, and analyze it.  

Then I used the little "aha" gift to correct a maladaptive behavior or thought that I had. The suffering was the gift wrap of relief.  I opened it, which took effort. My alternative was to stick it in the vault, unattended to, forever. I chose present action. Really I just thought about, actually, because analysis is thought, but maybe I wrote it down so it was technically action. Or I said it out loud. So then my physical body did work, i.e., action. Ok. 

Do you copy. 

I used the suffering to destroy the suffering.
