My first post
Hi,
There is a road that leads to the end of suffering and my desire is for all to make progress in that direction. Ultimately all anyone ever wants is to be content and be at peace and the task in hand is to figure out how to get there.
I see love and fear as opposites, love being outward and fear being inward. Love is wanting to relieve the suffering of others whereas fear is wanting to protect oneself. When one cultivates love and is able to express it ones sense of wellbeing increases. For example, if you were to help someone and you had no motive other than to help them, you would feel good. Fear, on the other hand, puts up barriers and leads to a comfort zone that shrinks as fear increases.
I think that half of the battle, actually most of the battle, is finding a space in which to investigate these things.
I am genuinely sending you love and if you are able to receive it we will both feel good.
Do less. 🙂

Hi,
Thanks for that
(I've only just worked out how to reply)
When you feel sad, what cheers you up?
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, I've only just leant how to see any comments.
I don't worry too much about feeling sad, it always goes away on its own. Feeling sad is just a part of life. Sometimes my life gets out of balance but as I get older I am getting more skilful. Just practice I suppose.
After just speaking to my wife she informs me that I don't really do sad, I do angry
Men's natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far apart.
Hi,
I agree with that.
It the superficial that differs. The more I can see my true nature, the more l see we are the same thing.
Thanks.
