Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I find nothing wrong with suffering. To me, trying to 'get rid of' () suffering is akin to Iron (or Gold) trying to get rid of 'fire burns'. Truth is that whenever Iron comes into contact with fire - it will burn - it is part of its nature. It is its 'role', its designated 'purpose' and it becomes Iron only because of fulfilling that role. It serves its 'purpose' in the 'leela' only by fulfilling that role. That 'burning' is what allows it to 'bend', 'become flexible' and to take thousand interesting [and useful ] shapes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Suffering is an essential part of our design as 'human' being. Freedom from this 'nature' is neither possible, nor necessary or useful for us 'humans'! It serves many Greatly useful purposes and it is here to stay! [And, I notice that it has indeed stayed for eons!] To a large extent, suffering essepart of learning and of making memory imprints. For most part, human's ability to 'suffer' is also what makes many 'social systems' to work! It makes 'award' and 'punishment' work, it makes 'justice' work and it gives root to many other valuable 'human' qualities such as compassion, understanding and human-to-human bonding! I am glad that our 'ability' to suffer is here to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 - adithya.. glad your back.. i thought your wife took your computer too.. like the glasses. says pain is not a choice pain and suffering is optional. suffering is arguing with what is. I think for me -suffering is just such a habit.. if i get too happy it doesnt feel right.. like what will happen now. its a fear. of the unfamiliar.. i think.. And then i want to recall some sad event just to feel my normal self.. I think i am getting better with mona grayson and carol at clear life solutions and katies help. do the work on suffering perhaps love, roslyn -- In Loving-what-is , " adithya_comming " wrote: > > > > Suffering is an essential part of our > design as 'human' being.
