“Broken Words, perfect feelings” – Why do we need to know?

 

When we don’t know why we are depressed,

 

depression rules our lives.

 

 

When we don’t know why we are anxious,

 

anxiety pushes us around.

 

 

When we don’t know what emotion is,

 

we lose the key to experience living.

 

 

If we don’t know what we don’t know,

 

we are well-programmed robots that wonder in the malls,

 

sophisticatedly scanning brand name,

 

but never smelling the essence of life.

What is Inner Difficulty?

Living as a human being, we sometimes meet obstacles that stop us from functioning normally as usual and thus experience our inner difficulty. It is a very normal and human situation. It happens because the obstacles are parts of our lives. Inner difficulty is like our happiness. Both of them are natural phenomenon that arise from our experience as human beings.

　

We suffer from inner difficulty because we have not had opportunities that would allow us to learn how to cope with these difficulties. Therefore we get stuck in our inner state. However, we will continue to encounter and suffer from our inner difficulties in the future, unless we keep up our spiritual practice and finally reach an state of enlightenment that will free us from all the human sufferings.

 

In short, it is very natural to have inner difficulty. When it happens, we can choose to grasp the opportunity to learn from it in order to be frees inside.

Is this really my life?

Get up in the morning and go to work,

have some small talk and earn more money,

watch TV and think about how to look for love,

　

feel happy, feel unhappy,

feel happy, feel unhappy….

It seems like unhappiness always wins.

Is life supposed to be this way?

　

What is Life anyway?
