suffering

2021-04-30

Suffering is resistance to what is.
Alternatively:
Suffering is clinging to what is not.

So, what is not?
A thought about a thing is not the thing.

Clinging to our thoughts, mistaken for the thing, we suffer.

When we recognize what is - that is, the essence of the thing - we are at ease.

Simply remembering that this is how it works, our grip loosens.
