When it comes to simple ways to have a good life, the ideas that we shed are every bit as important as anything we can learn.
One of the first things we have to shed is our identification with our suffering.
We live in a world that encourages us to suffer, to identify with our suffering, and even to validate or justify ourselves through our suffering. This will always tie us to that suffering because we think it's part of “us”, and how can we ever escape from something that is “us”?
In this episode, we talk about the difference between pain and suffering, how the ideas we accept about ourselves impact us, and what it means to accept our pain without turning it into suffering.
