A few experiences in my life and that of others, some recent and others old, move me towards sharing this with you.
With your tacit indulgence, let me take you briefly through four truths of life as understood by Budhists.
First, life is suffering. Nothing new there, I guess. Pain and agony characterise life.
Second, suffering is due to attachment. Imperfection and impermanence is the juice of our reality. Clinging to things of this world, which can never last nor be perfect, is the best recipe to hurting.
Third, suffering can be overcome. Sigh of relief. Choose not to be attached and choose not to suffer.
Fourth, there is away of doing this (three above). Follow the eightfold path. Google!
Examine your life. Find out whether at the root of your suffering, lies attachment to fleeting things and experiences. Now, what about a paradigm shift?
