Motivation is backwards on a mass scale. Survival is a gun to your head. Thriving is a carrot on a stick. It’s not just about Fiat vrs. Bitcoin although that is important; the bad actors, psychopaths, sociopaths, and many other symptoms of backwards un-nurtured people manifest in so many different ways and prey on so many victims, nobody gets out without being traumatized, cycles are difficult to break… there is no ONE thing.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. There are no guarantees.

I could go on and on but individuals have to realize their power and choose their hell and/or heaven on earth, based on their thoughts and deeds. It takes courage and determination, discipline and many other fine qualities to realize potential. Never give up.

I think this is the greatest quote of all time, it never ceases to apply:

Mind your thoughts, they become your words, mind your words, they become your actions, mind your actions, they become your habits, mind your habits, they become your character, mind your character… it becomes your destiny. -Lao-Tze

Choose your thoughts wisely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. If all you’re looking for is problems, you’re bound to be correct.

All the problems in 3:

1.A lost connection to the divine.

2.The lack of exploration and understanding of the unconscious.

3.Awareness/Consciousness

Suffering isn’t optional, life is suffering.

Suffering is mostly subjective.

e.g. first world problems

Don’t impose on others, suffering should be eliminated by the mind after that.

Pain is all that remains.

Suffering is necessary to human existence. Suffering is essential because it defines human existence.

Without it, man is unable to grow and improve, and his positive experiences lose meaning and significance.

"Life is suffering. Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated. Truth is the handmaiden of love. Dialogue is the pathway to truth. Humility is recognition of personal insufficiency and the willingness to learn. To learn is to die voluntarily and to be born again, in great ways and small. So, speech must be untrammeled, so that dialogue can take place; so that we can all humbly learn, so that truth can serve love, so that suffering can be ameliorated, so that we can all stumble forward, so to speak, towards the kingdom of God."

Through viewing suffering in this lens you can catch a glimpse of the objective truths in which theology brings forward, it meets subjectivity.
