No one is suffering

One talks about suffering, discusses about suffering as one is safe and secured now. If one is actually in trouble, either one takes action or bears the discomfort, the trouble is giving. Talk about suffering is only to escape the discomfort, to remain in one’s comfort zone, to remain in one‘s pattern of seeking relief by acting compulsively.

The idea of suffering is created by the religion or through poetic expressions. No one can be essentially unhappy unless one is in immediate physical danger. And when one is in danger, there is no time to think, talk, discuss. There is immediacy of action. What one calls unhappiness, suffering is simply psychological discomfort due to something not happening as you wish or when you are unable to cover up the feeling of uncertainty. One makes stories out of psychological discomfort, calls it suffering. Psychologically, you can not have relieved, done state. Psychological comfort-discomfort is the non-stoppable movement. When you see that psychological safety, security is an illusion-you are attuned to supreme relaxation with unending friction to operate.
