Physical or emotional pain – the suffering is the same but in different focus areas. People can empathise, but it really is your own inner experience and no one can be fully there with you in your pain and unbearable discomfort.
That suffering is both real and an illusion.
It’s real in that it hurts. So much so that it can make you take action that seems out of character or propel you to do things you normally wouldn’t, out of desperation.
But the illusion is that it’s not as concrete as it appears.
It can usually be shifted, anywhere, anytime. Suffering is an unnecessary by-product.
