Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.
You look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is.
Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.
From a Hindu perspective, you are born as what you need to deal with, and if you just try and push it away, whatever it is, it's got you.
Compassion and love, that's all.
I take the assumption that every religion has been rooted in some mystical or transcendent experience. From that assumption, I just look at all the different systems as metaphors or doorways to God.
