Cause of suffering..
    #16577859 - 07/24/12 02:30 AM (9 months, 24 days ago)

Is because of our irresponsibility and our irresponsibility for our youth.

Youth cause suffering by needing to be raised. :shrug:

It's all suffering until one can just ignore it.

Youth cause suffering by needing to be raised.

Youth cause suffering because of those who raise us, who are also suffering..

It's all suffering until one can just ignore it.

But is it not ignorance that escalates suffering?

I don't know, awareness nowadays is kind of a pain in the ass. Way too much nonsense. :nonono:

Nowadays, it seems like stability causes the most suffering. Depression rates tend to be higher in well developed countries where the social system is great and people are well taken care of by their government. On the other hand, people in developing countries may have a simple life, but they seem to be happier in general compared to others.

Apparently the highest depression rate is in France! I don't know why that's the case, but maybe they worry too much about the future hmm

There is no thought without mind, there is no mind without the body, there is no body without the heart, and there is no heart without love. Maybe our pain lies deeper than we imagine.

stickiness is responsible for both suffering and joy
some people call it clinging,
but everything about memory or connected-ness of ideas involves the tendency  of things to stick.
it is only a problem when pain is associated with an idea.
I don't like to call it clinging because we do not have to grasp, want, hold, or contain the painful thing, it is connected automatically by memory or association.
we suffer because we seem to have little freedom within the waters of the mind in which each idea is linked to another, and the connections seem to be continuously engaging.

to evade suffering we need to learn to swim more freely in our minds.

occasionally we encounter free people, there is lots to learn from a person who understands suffering and the mind and how and when to detatch.

often we encounter fake free people - schizophrenics who think they have cracked the code to evade suffering by constantly changing the rules in their heads.

I think it's mostly the situation. The basis of life is savage in itself. We must kill and devour lesser organisms to continue living. We must establish dominance over space and resources, and project this dominance to attract mates. Life is a fight, and the illusion that we are actually living out a life and not just quickly passing through this form keeps it brutal.

Maybe that's exactly the kind of thought that is selfishly eating away at our earth's resources. Life doesn't continue just by it taking away, life must also provide. We are life, we must also provide. Cause of suffering: taking and not giving back.

It is terrible and stupid  behavior - 'taking and not giving back' - an error in our approach that will probably bring pain and loss, but it wont necessarily bring what we experience as 'suffering', and avoiding error wont remove suffering either.

You could say stupidity and error are an ongoing part of the crappy things going on.

Suffering, on the other hand, is the re-immersive experiencing of pain, even after the event that caused the pain has passed. Suffering is another term for mental illness, while stupidity in politics and life in general is part of the unsatisfactoriness of this existence. Stupidity and error are not sicknesses just imperfection.

We fear not having that which we desire, and we desire to face and destroy our fears. Move beyond both pillars, they are the outer markers of the self, not it's limits.

What is there that doesn't cause us suffering ?, either by it's prominence in our lives or by it's sudden withdrawal, by it's absence, or it's impending appearance.

cause of suffering = worrying about stupid, pointless shit

at least that's been the predominant factor in my own life.

when i just let go and stop worrying about bullshit my life becomes so much better. it's almost like you NEED a healthy degree of apathy to be sane in this world.

I believe we have limited choice when to express thoughts, but its not our choice which thoughts and behavior patterns survive. Even if you cultivate good intentions, the world will still be bad and there's nothing that can stop that. It's nature of mind, not necessarily nature of physical forms.

Avoiding error is just a difficult process, recognizing error and taking steps to diminish it. You cannot eliminate error (accidents, unpredictable things etc.)- but you can avoid and diminish it.

^^^ the first post to remember the answer.

Suffering has no cause, it is grace, a process, the best thing that ever happens to us. War, sickness, old age, crown of thorns and sweating blood, wear your suffering with pride or curled in fetal position. Long have I been in fetal position, may the pride awaken.

Again with the personalisms.  Why not educate yourself and read the forum guidelines about personalisms.  Personalisms are the refuge of those without a defensible position. :shrug:

Cactilove,

You've been here long enough to know that personalisms and insults are against the rules.

A "twat" and a moron and someone wearing an ugly tie can all make valid points of debate. That's why pointing out those things is irrelevant noise and against the rules.

If the best debating point you have available is schoolyard insults, then maybe you don't have an argument. Take that to the OTD forum where insulting each other is how they debate there. Here, we find that boring.

Consider this your warning.

I made a valid point once.  Most all of my points are valiant however.  :heytherebadboy:

The cause of suffering is nature. It created brains that use negative stimuli as a survival mechanism. Negative stimuli is suffering.

Anyone notice this?"

The refusal to change your perception on reality when reality doesn't change according to your likes.

:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

It's not that i refuse to be content with reality; it's that I'm incapable. I don't think anyone is capable of being content with everything.

Of course not, but one can certainly adjust one's mind in such a way that one comes to at least feel less bothered by the things one doesn't like. This will help one feel dislike rather then suffering.

Maybe, i sure as hell try, but the suffering still persists. At least i have moments of extreme bliss to make life worth living... for now at least.
