suffering is a part of life, and we all know this...



but often, we think that we are suffering in silence and suffering alone. sometimes, we can be physically alienated... sometimes it's hard to reach out to people or tell them the tough topics that you've been struggling with. we live in a era of highlight reels, only showing others our most precious, happy, and positive thoughts and feelings. we would never discuss our deepest, darkest fears, thoughts, and anxieties. others are quick to pass judgement and we are criticized 24/7 on the internet for what we share with others. suffering, and helplessness are a common thread that binds us all together.



we have learned from buddhism that life centralizes around our suffering that arises from attachment but that eventually one can overcome the suffering. this is something that we all face.



we are all stressed out sometimes, some more than others.

we all get sad sometimes, some more than others.

we all have fears in our heart sometimes, some more than others.

we all have problems sometimes, some more than others.



this is our connectivity at play. there is power in numbers. we all suffer.



to some people, this may seem too negative. but can there ever be moments full of light without the darkness that precedes? we swing in the pendulum of duality at all moments and all facets of life are essentially shared between us as human beings.



you are not alone.
