Obliged to Suffer?
Does obligation have to be a suffering? No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t have to be a suffering, but it only ceases to be a suffering when we see that we chose that set of obligations, and recognize why we do. See ourselves in it. But, but, but aren’t we “obliged“ to suffer? Yes. They tell…
