@MLClark the fact that others are suffering does not invalidate your own suffering. Pain is subjective for the scale of pain in each person exists only within that person. Their worst is the worst, their best is the best.
I find this is a reason for compassion to all beings. Every one, in a way, is a suffering in a way we cannot imagine, because our scale is not their scale.
There is no pain Olympics, the fact that suffering is, is rather, a door way to love.
@NiveusLepus @MLClark 💯 agree. To live is to suffer. Yours, his, mine; it roots and entwines us to care for each other.❤️
