The right suffering

Question from the Internet:

“Is suffering a part of the human condition?”

Yes, as without suffering, without feeling a lack, we would never develop, move out of our comfort zone.

But this suffering doesn’t have to be actual, painful, intolerable pain. We could develop in a way that therefore that pulls us towards is a positive, “love suffering", constantly aiming at a higher, better, more optimal future state we couldn’t reach yet, but which state is so important, desired that we feel that without reaching is life is worthless.

This is the positive, hastened way of development instead of instinctively, blindly running away from actual pain, actual physical suffering.

Whether we consent to it or not, Nature’s relentless evolutionary plan is driving us towards a final, most optimal goal together with the whole Natural system. As we are oblivious about this plan and the final goal, at this stage Nature’s drives, develops is by blows — like the coronavirus for example — from behind.

But through a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method we could understand, map the Natural developmental plan with our own role in i it. Then we can shift to the above mentioned positive suffering, pulling ourselves ahead without waiting for the blows.
