Episode 135: How to suffer less in life
Summary
In my experience, a great deal of the unnecessary suffering in the world originates in the decision to say ”no” to the present moment. Placing oneself in the position of resisting reality creates friction, and this friction creates suffering. In the vast majority of cases, resistance neither improves the situation nor helps us get what we want. On the other hand, by adopting a posture of willingness to work with what is, we give ourselves the best possible chance of recognizing the potential that may be inherent in the situation.
