Why do we have to suffer
A question
Hitting
And targetting all
Why does it happen
What for
Feelings of dispair
Rebellion and Anger
When it happens to us
There is no why
It just happens
Due to accidents of nature
Like birth and death
Due to our own mistakes
Like overeating or wrong food
Due to the mistakes of others
A drunken driver hitting you in the face
It happens
It is part of our earthly condition
What matters is
How we handle the suffering
Do we numb it
Or is it a way to enter in dialogue
What is the teaching in this
What do we learn?
Is it acceptance
forgiving
Or just knowing
we are not the end of story
Can we give it meaning?
