Suffering isn’t a necessity to live life, and if you do suffer it has nothing to do with what happens; it has everything to do with attaching to what happens. There will be many painful things that occur in life, but they cause suffering only because that’s how they’re labeled. This labeling process is at the core of the Conditioned Mind. Without the attached label to what arises, there wouldn’t be a need for things to be different so there wouldn’t be a need to try and make things less painful; after all trying to make life less painful is how most people spend their life. Always wanting life pain free is why so many are in a state of suffering; it has nothing to do with what’s going on. Nothing can cause suffering unless it’s allowed and it’s only allowed because it’s not known how not to allow it.
Because of the attachment to the conditioning in place most will just go with what society has to say about suffering without investigating it. To much is taken as truth without looking to see the underlying attachment; this is why the world is in a state of suffering. The label you have for something or someone is the label you have for yourself, without a settled mind this will not be seen so the attached suffering will continue to be the controlling energy in place. The label of suffering breeds suffering always, this is the dog chasing its tail syndrome. To me suffering isn’t a necessity in life because in the present moment it doesn’t truly exist, not because painful things don’t happen, but because there’s no need to attach a label that makes it so…
