Orb Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 For anyone struggling, I think its better to focus on just having one good day instead of reaching too far and pressuring yourself to have a "good life". Just one good day without suffering is enough. One day at a time. Quote Mention There is no Greater Love than the Expression of Love ❤️🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazE Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 That's good advice. You can also break this down further to a good hour or a good moment. If you always have a good moment then you have a good hour and a good day and a good life. It's a fractal. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Can anyone really have a good life? Where is ‘this life’ and the ‘other life’ such that a comparison is ever actually made? What if you are being life, and therein a thought arises of me and life… and that is the suffering? Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid and I lost one of my pets my mom would always say "you gave them a good life" and I remember never feeling comforted and always thinking I really could have/should have done better, because in that moment I was really focused on lack . 😬 Then it seems like there's pressure to give your kids a good life, especially since it's assumed that you gave them life in the first place, (lol) let alone live a good life for yourowndamnedself. It's just generally a great relief to realize that there is no life that is just judgement clouded through negative emotion.
