Pain is an inevitable part of life, the outcome of challenges and often unpalatable experiences. We tend to internalize it and react to it. The resistance to it is what brings suffering.
What works is accepting
situations and letting the pain out with an understanding that it is all an
essential part of the flow and of our growth.
A river collects stones, dried
leaves, sticks and all kinds of pollution that it picks up along its course,
but still weaves its way around them to reach the ocean. Similarly, we need to recognize
that just as a river does not go against its flow, all creation also has a
natural progression. The course has been chartered for us but we either don’t
see it or are in denial. And very foolish in our ignorance. Even more so
because we see only short term benefits, failing to see the long term
implications of those short term benefits. Never forget that the wheel of our
lives keeps turning.
Unfortunately, man is the only
creature that defies the natural laws, with undesirable consequences for the
whole world, as we see this happening more and more in current times.
