Suffering

At any given moment, we can find tremendous suffering in the world. In fact, it dominates the air waves because tragic news sells. Being informed about what’s happening is fine, but ingesting a constant stream of almost exclusively negative news gives us a warped view of the world. It creates an unhappy view of reality that’s useless because we can’t really do much about it. The truth is, suffering for others doesn’t diminish their pain, it only adds more suffering to the world. If we really want to make the world better, the best thing we can do is…

Reduce our OWN suffering.
