..about the man who was complaining he had no shoes until he saw the man with no feet.
As I said up there :thumbsup: or down there :thumbsdown: I am human and have the same emotions as everyone else. I get sad, angry, mad, jealous, envious and all the other negative emotions flowing through my system too. I used to be a lot worse off until I started realizing things and putting certain things together.
It was probably started in the wrong way, but it's hard to start this kind of conversation here sometimes because people take things the wrong way. Why does a person suffer after the death of a loved one? Is it because they will miss them? Is it because they see other people suffering? Is it because if they don't show emotion for the loss they might look like they don't care? And after answering that question then the question is... is the "suffering" an ego thing or selfish? Is the suffering caused because the person suffered has lost something that THEY wanted?
I guess I should have gone into the philosophy group or something with this question..lol.
