You’re going to suffer.
That’s non negotiable.
But are you willing to suffer?
That shift can make all the difference in how you handle what’s in front of you.
Even better do you love your suffering?
Is it the necessary price to fulfill your destiny?
If it is, congrats. You’ve figure out life.
Learn to love your suffering and every scar will be a reminder about life you were brave enough to lead.
Or reject your suffering and suffer anyway in pointless agony for nothing.
Choice is pretty clear.
word
Finding meaning makes suffering worthwhile
Wanting and choosing the process (suffering) is an important key to life
The prosperity Gospel is all over the West, but you nailed it here. A part of why Christianity is true and therefore resonates with all cultures across the world is because the God-Man became man and suffered a long with His creation. This is completely scandalous for most folks but that's too bad.
John 16:33 — “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 16:24-26 — Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Suffering well is your chance to live you Christian values and influence your world.🙏✝️
Pain is what the world does to you.
Suffering is what you do to yourself.
—Buddha
Doing Ironman taught me to love the suffering, and at that moment i love it, it became something completely different, it lost all its density and turned into bliss! Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice.
Dear, you are sounding like a sachet masoch disciple at this point. Extreme Austrian neurosis.
THIS IS GETTING COMPLETELY CRAZY!
I don’t seek the pain or derive pleasure from it. I greet it like an inevitability and am not surprised or forlorn by its arrival.
Even defining an experience as “suffering” is revealing.
The willingness and courage to experience all our humanness.
It is always so apparent when people have been THROUGH things in life.
Only hard man will have good times. Only suffering can make you stronger.
Never took you as a credible thinker about economics or monetary policy, but you are revealing yourself as a nefarious actor.
How so? Which part of this is nefarious to you?
Well, very happy to accept the challenge.
Here are some points:
1. You systematically encourage hodling. What in my perspective is opening the door to BTC capture.
2. Your conversation doesn't encourage thinking beyond BTC.
3. You're conveying values that are not considering the ones outside of your scope.
In short: I think you are misleading a lot of people.

A cancellation?
Huh?
Do you you feel so entitled by your preconceted convictions supported by your larp army that you could challenge me?
Are you ok?
Are you?
The latest replies I got from you are "K", "huh?". Hardly anything one can make an argument about. I'm waiting for a sensible argument for the position you defend.
Not if I have my AR goggles on all the time! Have Fun Staying Sad, suckers!
Your words sounds better if you invert the words "suffer/suffering" with "life/living" 😉
Suffering is the fire that tempers the soul. Embrace it, and you don’t just survive — you become. 💭⚔️
To feel pain is human
To suffer is divine
That take is unnecessarily inelastic on real life.
Suffering is nothing but perception.
Focus on gratitude for what you have, and you leave suffering behind.
Agree but suffering will come anyway, because one day all that you are grateful for will be taken from you
The Stoic vs the Buddhist...
Stoicism and Buddhism both teach that inner peace comes from mastering your mind. #trivium
Stoicism through rational control of what you can influence, and Buddhism through mindful detachment from impermanent desires.
Both are correct, if correctly applied.
I‘m with Plato w/r to suffering being a part of life, but it is our attachment to external things and our lack of understanding that exacerbates our suffering, rather than the loss of those things itself
AMEN
It’s the only meme I could find in my saved memes. I don’t think we are the sculpter per se. As the cooperators, submitters to the sculpting.

Beautifully said.
This is ancient wisdom.
Willing to suffer. That‘s how i live life.
First noble truth baby!!
Pain is inevitable. Viewing it as suffering is optional.
Consecrate your suffering and unite it with the Holy Cross
