Language of Pain and suffering

What is the language of pain.

I see people suffering

But how do you communicate that pain and suffering. It is quite natural to say “I understand what you might be going thru”, but is that really the case. Can that suffering, the other person is going thru, can really be felt and understood.

Suffering and Joy

Negative and Positive.

Evil and Good.

Yin and Yang.

Suffering and Joy.

Passive and Active.

Hell and Heaven.

All negative and positive forces in our lives compliment each other and come together to complete a form...

Past Baggage

I would like to share a story I heard.

Two monks were traveling far distances in their quest for answers to life’s suffering. One was the teacher and the other was his young disciple. One day they reached a river which they had to cross to visit the next village. At the shore of the river, they saw a woman also trying to cross the river but was hesitant as the river was raging. The teacher approached the woman, picked her on his back and crossed the river....

Switching Karma

I would like to share a story I heard.

Once there was a village, whose occupants were in real misery. Not even a single person in that village was happy. Everyone was suffering from some problem or the other. They were all in despair and in a state of hopelessness with no solution in sight. They had tried all possible ways and means but nothing worked.

Awakening

The day that you realize that xyz is just a name given to this particular body and one day this name will perish along with this body. Everything is transitional including death. It will come and go. It will come again and then again. Without any end. In next death you will be bearing a new body, a new name and it will continue....

Suffering vs Solution

I want to share a story I read some where.

Once a man was driving home from his office. He had lots of worries on his mind. He had a bad day. Sales were going down and he was anxious, disturbed and in lot of suffering as his boss had fired him. As soon as his car approached a bridge, he heard sound of a flat tyre. He got down to check and it was in fact a flat tyre. This agitated him even more. He was furious as he changed the tyre. In the end as he picked the screws to fix them back on, he tumbled and all the screws fell down from the bridge in the river....

Emotional Hurt

Reward or Punishment, no one can escape. There will always be an equal and reverse reaction to what we think, speak or do. It can be a reward for our good deeds or punishment for our evil acts. In this particular article I wish to ponder on how we act on our inter personal relationships and how it brings suffering to the subject and in turn to ourselves.

Inner Activism

Humans by nature are born activists. We always have a strong urge to change the world around us. Change the person in front of us. Change the situations around us. But till the time we are looking for a change outside of us, nothing happens. Here, I wish to bring out that activist in us to change something within. That I believe is true activism. Change yourself the way you want the person in front of you to be.

Memories

So I am 50 years old. My life has been a roller coaster. I have seen highs and lows. I have laughed, I have cried, I have danced, I have mourned. I have done some great things, some ugly things, some things which just needed to be done....

Death.

That final moment and that fear

The one topic which makes people uncomfortable is Death. Either they just don’t want to talk about it or they feel uncomfortable even thinking about it. There can be various reasons:

1. They are in complete denial that this can happen to them also

2. The topic is too scary to think and discuss

In my experience of discussing this topic with varied people, the reasons I have been able to decipher till now....
