A Syllogism of Life, Love and Suffering
Using logic to argue that loving life is not an option!
A Syllogism of Life, Love and Suffering
"Life is suffering."
-
"Love is suffering."
Therefore: "Life is love."
Quote attribution is as follows: "Life is suffering." - Siddhartha Gautama aka Buddha (ca. 6th c. B.C., India), "Love is suffering." -Andreas Capellanus (ca. 12th c., France), "Life is love."-Leo Buscaglia (20th c., USA).
I have often thought of this in the moments when life has been the most difficult to bear and when suffering has temporarily won the upper hand. It leads quickly to the idea that the more deeply we suffer, the more deeply we can love. For if we did not have the lows to go with the highs, we could not fully appreciate the positive things in life. This in itself is light in the darkness, a hope when it is most needed.
I hope you take this little syllogism with you out into the world and spread it in the hearts of those you meet. For love really is the answer.

Yep.. life is full of suffering..
Sadly true, but without it we wouldn't have anything to compare love and happiness to and thus recognize their true worth. Thanks for the comment!
