The Difference Between Pain and Suffering
This is huge because this is this distinction between pain and suffering. I think of the old Buddhist tail, right? Like there's the first arrow that comes in from wherever,. Then there's all the arrows that we put into our cell. Why is this happening? This shouldn't be happening. That person's wrong for doing this. And that's where the suffering comes from. We're not actually helping ourselves or making it worse. If we did kind of like just see that thing that is hurting us, if we step back from all those whys and problem solving diatribes - often it's manageable. You could deal with it.
