Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Too much suffering. Hope you enjoy the story.
In life, we are bound to go through happiness, sadness, bliss and suffering.
But I don't think we have a universal method of mesuring these feeling. Why so? I would attribute it to the fact that we have laws and rules in different parts of the world and with it different culture. Thus, such measurements become subjective instead of being objective.
So, how much is too much suffering? We really cannot tell as it differs from person to person. But if we were to put a ruler, I would sy if it cause the loss of life, then it's really too much. Since life is the ultimate measure of our stay on Earth. And if we were in such pain or difficult period of time till such undesirable thoughts surface, then we are really in too much suffering.
We can also work to build our mental resilience. One point to mention is while we do not want too much suffering, likewise, we should not subject others to too much suffering, in fact, we should not result others having to suffer because of us.
Remind me when phisical therapists tell you, from 1-10 how much is it hurting.
