Embrace Pain to Understand Being
Emotions, motivations, dreams, visions, and relationships reveal the depth of human consciousness, which lacks a materialistic explanation. Pain, a fundamental experience, transcends rational argument, asserting its significance in understanding human existence. The materialist perspective struggles to accommodate these essential aspects of being. Recognizing pain and consciousness as foundational is crucial to discussing virtue. The Buddhist principle that life is suffering, often seen as pessimistic, can provide relief when properly understood, as it resonates with the realities of human experience.
