Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
Pain I think is divided into physical and psychological
Physical pain comes from stimulating the pain receptors by
internal or external stimuli to a particular degree in other to create a
response to damage done to the body.
Psychological pain comes from a perceived loss or damage to
one’s identity, object of affection, character or ego.
To suffer is to believe that you receive a pain you are
undeserving of and to not want that pain.
To be pleased is to want something and to receive it.
A wise man once said to suffer is to be forehand ignorant.
Knowledge = power, rather, Knowledge power. If ever you feel powerless,
you are only ignorant.
To suffer is to be ignorant.
There is no absolute state of suffering. A state of suffering is
determined only by the mind who considers its situation as such.
If a child puts his hand into a fire, fire being new to him and
suffers pain, he does so ignorantly. He is in that situation out of ignorance.
If a child puts his hand into a fire, knowing fire and its
ruthless capabilities and the pain he would receive, the pain he here fore
undergoes cannot be tagged suffering, but as pleasure because he did so to
satisfy a desire.
If albeit he puts his hand into the fire and suffers pain beyond
expectation and he regrets and feels undeserving of the pain, indeed, again he
is in this state out of ignorance.
Man suffers because he is not fully aware of the consequence of
his thoughts and actions.
Man usually exclaims “There is no way!” because he knows no way.
He is only ignorant.
Discomforts (pain) there would always be, whether we see it as
suffering or pleasure is a choice.
Your mind creates your reality.
