Is There a Risk of Embracing Suffering?
Suffering is, by definition, resistance. So if we were to cease resisting what was taking place in our relationship, and we were to embrace it, or welcome it, our suffering would come to an end. It's not the situation itself that causes the suffering, it is our resistance to it. If resistance is replaced with welcoming, there's no question of welcoming suffering, because there is no longer any suffering to welcome.
