      Scepticism toward the need to suffer

      gabkdlly • 15 January, 2025 • 3 visibility

    My brother and I once talked about: whether the meaning of life was just to suffer.

    The yogic tradition teaches that "all life is suffering", and that the problems don't come in seeking pleasure, but rather in getting stuck in a local maximum. That, you actually enjoy good things more as you continue to grow in skill. That you get off on helping others achieve their dreams.

    Or, anyway, that is my understanding of it right now.
