Lesson 2: The Conservation of Suffering Principle:
About this Essay:
There must be something intrinsic to life’s pleasures, joys and satisfactions that makes them evanescent, thus bringing us back to the state of dissatisfaction. Their evanescent quality is not due to the fact that things fade and then vanish, like flowers with the coming of the winter frost. Time is not the real culprit, because even when life is in full bloom, life disappoints us — especially then. What is it about happiness that makes it evanescent?
The Conservation of Suffering Principle contends that try though we may, we can’t have the good without the bad, the positive without the negative, and life without adversity. Consequently, any enhancements that we make to our life merely change the form that the negative takes, without eradicating the negative itself. Might there be a road beyond the Conservation of Suffering Principle? There certainly is, but mystical insight is required, which we’ll help you to gain.
Something is always missing. What could it be?
