Which is easier to find?
Happiness or Suffering?
Which lasts longer?
Happiness or Suffering?
Which teaches us the most?
Happiness or Suffering?
Seems that Suffering is easier to find, lasts longer and teaches so much more than Happiness.
Next time you’re feeling really happy see how long it takes until you’re not.
Even in the midst of rapturous sex ,suffering finds its way in….in the form of craving or the desire to have things other than the way they are.
If you know both emotions well enough, you’ll realise they depend on each other for their existence and both are impermanent.
Don’t hang on to either.
Happiness or Suffering
Which comes with ease?
Suffering lingers,
Happiness flees.
Suffering teaches,
Its lessons run deep,
While happiness dances
And is gone in a leap.
Both are impermanent,
Both rise and fall
Don’t cling to either,
Just witness it all.








This is a pondering thought. I think some find it hard to let go. There are those who feel locked in place without a key to release them from the suffering. Then those who are extremely happy all the time it is like an endorphin rush that they crave to reproduce.
Very good, thought-provoking piece.
Thanks Fia
Nobody is always happy…..they may appear so.
The best we can hope for is to be content with the ‘ way it is’.
so true dearest Benny I know I will be happy again different but happy 💕
