No, I am trying to make the point that our thinking makes suffering. For example:
Let's say Elon Musk or Bill Gates has a really bad day in the stock market and lose tens of billions of dollars worth. Nobody would suggest that this would cause somebody a great deal of suffering, but it's kind of relative, right? All suffering is this way. Suffering is completely dependent on the subject, not the object causing the so-called suffering. Therefore, does suffering really exist if it is not universally experienced or is it something made up in the individual's mind?
I guess my thinker is broken because all I can experience anymore is grief. I suppose that makes me of no use to anyone.
Within everything is contained everything. Some see only the good, others only the bad. And then there are those who see that there is good and bad and try to exist in the middle. The middle is where you want to be...acknowledge good and bad but don't not go either way. Just be ok with all things is the way.
And some would rather not walk the tightrope at all...some do not relish the idea of having to walk the ''will I fall'' or ''will I balance'' to avoid the fall.....Some see it as a silly pointless game they would rather not play...this game is not everybody's dream life. Sometimes, it's just better to not be forced to walk the tightrope.
We live in a reality where we impose what are our own values upon another person everytime we choose to have a baby.
We live in a reality where ''emotionally broken'' people have children, where the child has to live in the broken world of it's parents, the one's they are dependant upon for their very survival.... And then there are people who just choose not to have children for whatever reason, mostly the reason is because of a keen intelligence and sharp forsight that is able to see through the trap..in a clear and precise way.
In my opinion..anyone who chooses to have a child today is a child abuser...see the daily news for more info as to why it's a bad idea to be having children right now.
Either climate change is going to fry or freeze them to death...or nuclear bombs will irradiate them to death.
Or..the ones affected by ''generational child abuse'' will just go on to make more ''broken people'' adding more fucked up people to the already fucked up world...and the stupidity continues until we finally wake-up and see the trap we set ourselves up for is not going anywhere or achieving anything whatsoever...but it takes a lot of intelligence to see through the trap...unfortunately, not many people have evolved the kind of intelligence that is needed to see through the stupidity.
