Learning to Suffer

[Krusha]

remember that everytime you suffer you get wiser , just don't let it consume you or you'll swallow yourself whole and won't absorb the wisdom


good luck to all my fellow sufferers out there whoever you are

[impure]

random yet deep.
strange.

[Moon]

suffer through the things you don't want to do but have to do and you shall a happy checkpoint

[MC Hammered]

Suffering and disappointment are due to us attaching emotions to things which by their nature are impermanent.

Once you break these chains you are then you can live life as it should be lived.

Free.

^ yes this is true to a certain degree mc hammered , but you can't detatch yourself from everything so eventually there will come a time of suffering

and if you can detatch yourself from everything then is life really worth living?

[mapleleaf4ever]

The less things that can cause suffering the better.

If you can live without attaching yourself to these things you have reached Zen.

dont get buddhist on my ass , ive got gigs of alan watts lectures on my ipod
:keebler:

if your parents suddenly die in an accident are you gonna be detatched right away or are you going to mourn first , thats what i mean , the life experience gained by learning from your pain , there is no such thing as a painless life , even zenmasters have an arduous journey to get to their peak

i seek out suffering. the more i can be happy putting myself in the worst senario, the more sure i am that i will be happy with whatever comes my way, suffering or blessings.

gotta run, PLUR fnk...

Suffering and despair, for me is a sign of weakness. It only allows me to become self-destructive. Therefore i just turn it into something creative.

[mikey]

pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

[potface]

suffering is only as bad as you percieve it

[dabbler]

^^^^umm, suffering is ONLY perception.

[Ree Fresh]

I can see that you would become wise from suffering... that is if your learning from your mistakes or how to deal with certain emotions.

However suffering is caused by desire. And like winston said if you can detach your self from these emotions your are free!

If your parents died in a car crash your feelings and emotions would tie you into morn and sadness. Yet if you can over come this and detach yourslef... you would be free from suffering and continue living :y:

[Krusha]

^ i wouldnt call it living , i couldnt detatch myself of that kind of bond , instead i'd get used to it and it wouldnt hurt as much in the future

pain reminds us that we're alive

Everything is based on perception.

If you could somehow completely control your mind and how it translates all the stimulus it receives you would be free of all pain and nastiness that comes your way.

[mikey]

this thread kinda reminds me of fight club... "just let go"

[miss.myra]

"suffering increases your inner strength. also the wish for suffering makes the suffering disappear"

[cinist]

most of the people ive ever known that assume they are suffering dearly, haven't been through shit, they just like to whine a lot ...

In the words of Calvin and Hobbs, "Be miserable, it builds character."
