For a long time I was convinced that suffering was for other people. I thought, I have enough to eat, a nice home, a great partner and child. Where is the suffering?
But I was missing the fundamentals. I was failing to see that this being human in & of itself is challenging. We have to shop, cook, clean, brush our teeth, pay our bills. We get a cold, we stub a toe, we get nasty emails and we still have to do our job. And that’s just the everyday.
What if we paid attention to this kind of suffering: the small difficulties of being human - moment by moment? Not in a woe-is-me kind of way, but with interest? With curiosity? I wonder what we could discover. I wonder what we could heal.
