Life is Suffering
Life is suffering. To live, to be alive is suffering. You have to understand, and accept that suffering is a part of life.
We can’t avoid suffering, but we can lessen our suffering by understanding why we are suffering. When there is understanding and when there is acceptance, there is less suffering. The more you understand, the lesser you suffer. Sometimes, all we need to do to avoid suffering is to let go, and accept what comes.
We suffer from the fear and uncertainty of the unknown. What we do not know or understand, we imagine the worst and hence, we fear. We have a hard time letting go of this fear and so we continue to suffer again and again. The answer to that, then, would be to look at what is making you suffer. Once you find the cause, you can take preventive measures. And if there is nothing you can do about it, you just have to face up to what’s coming your way. That is Life.
Stop clinging to things, to people. Clinging is suffering. Let go, and accept.

The man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. - Michel de Montaigne

"Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking post! 🙏 Your insights on suffering and how it's an inevitable part of life are so true. I love how you've shared quotes from wisdom keepers like Thich Nhat Hanh, Michel de Montaigne, and Seneca to drive home the point that our fears and resistance can often be the source of our own suffering. 😊
It takes courage to face these truths head-on, but it's essential for personal growth and liberation. I especially appreciate your advice to "let go" and accept what comes - such simple yet profound wisdom! 🌈
