The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha): Life is inherently filled with suffering and dissatisfaction.

The Truth of the Cause of Suffering (Samudaya): Suffering is caused by attachment, desire, and ignorance. When we cling to people, objects, or ideas, we create a cycle of craving and dissatisfaction.

The Truth of the End of Suffering (Nirodha): By overcoming attachment and desire, one can achieve liberation from suffering.

I think the buddhists got it figured out.

Forgiveness does not imply that you excuse or forget the wrong doings of another.

Some people, that have been violently hurt, almost killed, have difficulties to forgive the abuser, and I understand.

I completely understand, but until the act of forgiveness is not done they life in a very mental fragile state of anger and intrusive thoughts about the abuser which prevents a healthy balanced life. Always triggered, with fight or flight responses to others.

PTSD and CPSTD are no joke, as consequences of trauma. In most cases, depending on the gravity of the situation and also the support net around, that can be non-existant in some cases, or even the refusal of self, therapy is needed.

What’s the source of your distrust?

I think for me the answer is my family. More specifically, my brother when we were growing up. My mom and her sister were close and my aunt had 2 boys same ages as my brother and I. The older siblings would always mess with us youngsters. They’d prank us and push us around, make up stuff just to mess with us. This may have been the earliest source of my distrust - and the need to question. Later on my brother would lie to me about various things which made me distrust him even more. One particular time in high school (before I could drive - so this was probably 13-14yo), I was late for the school bus and couldn’t find my shoes. It was the only pair of shoes I had so I couldn’t go without them. I asked if he took them (he’d been known to wear my stuff before) and he swore he didn’t. I asked again several times what he did with them because I never misplaced my things, and once again he swore that he didn’t touch them. I didn’t buy it, so I went outside to look in his car and sure enough there they were. At this point I was already too late and wasn’t going to make it. I could see him having fun with this situation at my expense. This moment has never left my memory and may have been the catalyst for a strong sense of distrust in anyone.

Thank you so much

Damn.

RIP, Donald Sutherland. So many films, so many varied roles.
