So I’ve been thinking about this. Specifically that looking for happiness in temporary things is the cause of suffering.
How temporary are we talking? Life is temporary (for instance) and should we therefore not seek earthly happiness? Does this reflect your intention with the statement above?
As I try to understand where you’re coming from, please understand my intentions as well are to get a better grasp of your meaning since I legitimately find the statement above interesting. Ie: please don’t take the questions personally, I’m just not sure I understand. :)
Getting ahead of myself, I fully agree that life is the penultimate cause of suffering. As a result, I don’t want to inflict it on others (life that is). I’m curious if you have reached a different conclusion.
Thanks again for providing me with something fun to mull over. :)
