PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF SUFFERING, WAR AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR TIMOR LESTE SOCIETY

The purpose of the article is to explore the suffering experienced in caring for others, as a life goal and in the work of Simone Weil. As well as, introduce a critical reflection regarding to the real condition of Timor Leste society. For this, the methodology of bibliographic research was used, in her texts, letters and reports published in life and other post mortems by friends, at her request, as well as the reading of philosophical schools adopted by her and contemporaneously based on author scholars. Throughout her life Simone Weil spoke about various subjects such as oppression, labor, war, mysticism, religion, all based on philosophy and the search for truth and suffering. The philosopher chose to bear the ills of her humblest peers, often self-inflicted, and through charity, faith and love of neighbor. She experienced deep, unspeakable suffering, which he called: malheur.
