Life not quite simply black and white, my friend. We wear many hats, chosen at random, sometimes a saint, at other times a fiend, as sways fickle attention pendulum, with unconditional love shown seldom. Plodding through life, like a dead man walking, seeing not ego, silently stalking, we suffer because we choose to suffer, blocking divine light, within heart glowing, gift of life ruined in frivolous caper. 03-April-2021

If people would listen to their hearts and souls and recognize this "we suffer because we choose to suffer," they could change their history.

So spake Buddha “we suffer bcoz we choose to suffer” ... I borrowed it, being not copyright! :)

We either suffer to our detriment or for a much greater reward.

True. Essentially, stagnation in attachments is the cause of suffering. If we shift to connecting (and releasing) instead of clinging & grasping (like the breeze), we become tranquil & blissful.
