Today’s interesting/thought provoking reading: (Taken from The Wisdom of Yoga by Stephen Cope)
Each of us has our own silent War With Reality. And whatever our particular war with reality is, its result is always a persuasive sense of the unsatisfactoriness of the moment. Yogis came to call this duhkha. Duhkha means, literally, suffering, pain, or distess.
The causes of suffering are not seeing things as they are, the sense of "I", attachment, aversion, and clinging to life.
On the other hand, when there is no clinging, no craving, no aversion, no delusion, we are entirely free. We experience sukha or sweetness. Sukha is the happiness that is not colored by craving or aversion.
I've said this before, but just as we create our own reality, we create our own suffering, both on an individual, and collective level.
