Life is suffering- And the answers to WHY it is can be explored and identified while engaging in practices that alleviate suffering-
Desire and ignorance are supposedly at the root of human suffering- At the same time, it supposedly isn't our nature to exist in misery-
My husband suffered with crushing, debilitating depression- A misanthrope if there ever was one, and proud of it in a cheeky way- When he spoke about wanting to commit suicide, which was often, I listened- And listened every time he expressed that he wished he was dead or that his heart would stop- Which it did-
But in between his miseries he laughed and smiled and fully engaged in life, immersed in the moment- It's a shame he didn't notice- A shame he didn't see the joy on his own face-
A shame that he didn't look at his own true nature, the nature that would have liberated him to witness his own flow of emotions, and discover that they weren't permanent but temporary -
