Forget about the uploader's video title. Just figured this would be a good topic to make and hear others' thoughts.

This is one of the many reasons I would love to get both of these guys in a room and have tea with them. Seperate or togeather.
There’s a bit of self responsabilly in the underlined tone. It’s faint but most won't hear it.

Life is suffering. Whether you're Christ dying on the the cross for Humanity you're the teacher that fails is student or your mother that gives birth to a baby all is suffering. One thing my mother once told me two things are certain taxes and death.

But then you look at a rainbow the distinct colors your eyes that can distinguish between thousands of different vibrant colors you think of a dog and even though you scold it and its feelings are hurt you realize it is one of the most forgiving animals + will still love you even when humans cannot learn the same nature of forgiveness. The Sweet Taste of coffee or an energy drink first thing in the morning LOL.

Mankind is always looking for that emptiness within themselves but the thing is what they're looking for is within themselves all along the god the deity the answer the voice the spirit all in one. We have teachers and they shape us. Whether or not we listen or take what our teachers have taught us is solely up to us what we let in and what we let out also plays into what we are able to create in the consciousness.

If ya don’t wanna visit the link it says this


“ One of the main causes of our suffering is the seed of anger inside us.”
Thick Nhat Hanh
Taming the Tiger within

If the seed of selfishness anger hate and such can be planted - and reaped - then...

Can’t we change the seeds we plant and reap the opposite? What would be the yield of that?


Some times - not all the times but some times I find suffering because of my own choices against what’s present - Very seldom because of “life” and what it brings or the content but better , due to my reaction.

Anger is also the thing that drives us beyond the acceptance of evil.

That CAN - drive - some of us - not all of us . Not every one reacts to things the same way and in the same manner. One of the joys of life - smiley face

Sure, just as anger CAN be the seed inside - some of us - not all of us, that causes suffering
