I Think The Function Of Suffering Is To Let Me Know That My Perception Is Skewed; What I’m Doing Is Judging Natural Events In Such A Way That I Am Creating Suffering Within Myself. For Instance, You Have Pain Over Certain Conditions, Certain Situations That Occur. And If You Just Say ‘ok, Here I Am, I’m Going To Experience The Pain,’ You Don’t Suffer. The Resistance And The Degree Of The Resistance To The Natural Phenomenon Of Life Causes Tremendous Suffering.
