We are the extension, the manifestation and the
materialization of the infinite intelligence of the universe. In the creation
we can see the perfection of God.
But our lives are our own creations, the extension and
manifestation of our egos and in them we can see our imperfection and we
experience our suffering.
Life is suffering not because it is so but because we
make it so.
I now a man can spend his whole life in the torment of
suffering without having anything to suffer about.
A jealous man married to a beautiful woman, needs no
reason for his jealousy.
He will live his life of continuous torture and drag
everybody around him in his nightmarish sickness.
It doesn’t matter that his is wife has never done
anything to cause such pain. It doesn’t matter that she was totally devoted,
faithful and loving to him. His jealousy is the nightmare created in his own
mind and it will devour him like a disease.
It is our capacity of thinking and imagining things that do
not exist and give them power over our emotions that creates suffering.
We can speculate about things that have not yet happened,
of planning and worrying about a future that is not real yet and that my never
come to fruition that gives us the power to create suffering out of nothing.
It is our capacity to remember things, to recall past
events, past pain real or imaginary, our ability of dwelling in the sorrow of
the “I should have, could have, would have”
that creates suffering out of nothing.
It is in the immaterial confines of our imagination that
the poison of suffering is brewing not in the reality of our daily lives.
It is in the prison of reason that we create an imaginary
past and future, that we create the stage where the bulk of our suffering drama
takes place.
It is rarely that we found sorrow in the moment of here
and now.
Life is suffering not because it is so but because we
make it so.
