There is an entity behind the scenes, acting like an interconnected network of information, sharing impressions that are usually not based on consciousness. It is suffering in the roots of clouded misconceptions and acquisition of false beliefs about what is really happening in the surroundings. There are clouds in clouds and transparency in clear sounds. It is a matter of observation to see there is something we can see without see. We ask, we hear, we understand, and we believe. The more we see, the more we get used to experiencing.
Let us open our eyes to the fact that there are a lot of people experiencing difficulties in life, with little or no resources to even feed themselves once a day. If we ask deep inside: “What is the problem?” we could receive an unconscious answer that says: “they are in suffering.”. It may be a half truth, as struggling with something represents suffering itself in the perspective and relativity of a person. However, the idea of seeing another sentient being, another life as an object is suffering at the highest levels.
Laughing about the lack of resources or the loss of it. Promoting the idea of discrimination and exclusion by the simple fact of not accepting the differences. Classifying in good or bad, tolerable or intolerable, based on material values while putting aside consciousness, prevents us from looking at the situation in a non-judgemental attitude grounded on observation, questioning, reasoning, and understanding. All is nothing more than suffering, and we are all prone to experience it to some extent.
The more we understand our deeper self, the more we step out of suffering to realise we cannot change what is in the surroundings by our singular effort. We need collaboration of all to achieve meaningful and shared goals. The idea of a genuine community, represented by the Sanskrit word Sangha (संघ), has the foundation on our love nature, the helping attitude of recognising differences as a step into evolution, the natural enhancement of unique qualities of each one of us.
The moment we realise that the struggle of seeing someone else in suffering, discriminating, being obnoxious, and acting in a conditioned way is also a state of suffering, it is the moment we understand the more we experience it, the more we know the only way to diminish the associated negativity is enhancing the self.
