- Does life has suffering as it's core? Is the baseline in life to suffer? Can it be escaped, is it part of life?

Found a hidden gem!
i agree
Not true. Investigate, and you will find that two people can experience the same physical event (Losing a job, physical pain or discomfort, not having X or Y), but one suffers (feels dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression etc.), while the other one maybe not at all (or minimally and only briefly). And the reason is that suffering comes only from psychological resistance to reality. Its something you do to yourself by resisting that which is (and desiring it to be different). But if you practice not resisting, then you feel no suffering. Im not just saying it, this is my way of life. This is btw the core lesson in Buddhism. 2500 years ago, the buddha contemplated for a few years what the cause of human dissatisfaction/suffering was, and concluded that it was desire (for things to be otherwise). And he was right. So the trick is to accept/ not resist everything which happens and exist already, while at the same time take practical steps to improve things practically. If you lose your job, dont resist it. And now you sit without a job, not suffering. And then you go: "practically, having a job would make more sense, so I`ll start the application-process tomorrow morning". If you wish to learn more about this, Eckhart Tolle probably has one of the most easy to understand explanations. Or Buddhism, or so many other isms that are teachings based around the same realization and practice. Btw, you mention "If we allow ourselves to suffer, then the easier it becomes", so you on some level understand already that psychological resistance to the current situation, is the fuel of suffering. If you dont resist that you feel suffering, then suffering lessens.
Suffering can be experienced whether we accept reality for what it is or not.
@@allmaxtube If someone accepts all that is, and doesn't desire that anything be different at this moment, then what could possibly be the cause of suffering for them? This is not a superhuman mystical ability, millions of people (I am one of them) all over the globe live their lives nearly free of suffering. Because they practice meditation, accepting what is, not resisting reality. You might not see it at this time, but my hunch is that in the future you will, because you seem nearly susceptible to a solution already. (and you will reduce your daily suffering significantly). Physical pain might still happen, but no suffering. Until then, suffering will be your teacher and eventually make you feel so dissatisfied that you stop resisting. Eventually. I encourage you to screenshot this comment and contemplate in which areas of life you feel suffering. You will find that it is exactly where you have a desire for things to be different at this time, and that might be because you dont feel whole and look for a wholeness of self in some condition that you wish to acquire one day. But this doesnt lead to a feeling of wholeness. Not resisting does.
How is any of this supposed to dispute that we inevitably have to encounter suffering? I doubt invalidating someone's suffering by telling them it's merely a resistance to reality or their desire for change is making it any better. Like I said, we can accept reality for what it is and still encounter suffering. Better to accept suffering as part of life in my opinion and not resist suffering itself. We can make other people suffer by our actions as well. Just ask yourself whether or not you can take actions that can have someone else suffer and if you honest then I'm sure the answer is not going to be "no" or "they just have to stop resisting reality".
@@allmaxtube Today I can walk up to a woman and say "You are getting older, fatter and you will never find any man who wants you", and that will prob result in her feeling suffering for the next few days. For the average person, they believe it is the external conditions (in this case my comment to her, and also the reality of those comments) which cause them to feel suffering. But its their internal, psychological resistance. Like I mentioned; old age, death, disease, aloneness etc. these things come to everyone, but some suffer way more than others. And its because some resist them way more than others. We could write it like this: Suffering experienced = practically undesirable external condition * degree of resistance to that condition. And most people simply don't realize consciously that their resistance is a critical part of it. They believe that their degree of suffering is at the mercy of external conditions. And you should accept a state of current suffering itself also yes. Thats part of not resisting. If you feel dissatisfaction, a bit depressed etc. then you internally go: "I feel dissatisfied with how life is going, thats okay". Dont resist that you feel suffering, and it will diminish significantly like you experience already. And to live without suffering almost completely, just deepen this practice.
True. There can be some resistance towards things like growing old and I'm all for someone to check in with themselves to how they feel. Ultimately everyone has to suffer eventually though and I don't think that "resistance" or a non-acceptance towards something is also the only form of suffering either. There are things that can make people suffer that go beyond expressing the facts of reality. Hinting here at abuse, manipulation, t*rture, isolation or being messed with for example. Resistance or non-acceptance is not the issue here.
This is soo what I needed to hear, I always try to AVOID suffering, and it makes it worse... 🥲
