  Personally my goal is to decrease needless and avoidable suffering for all minds whenever and wherever possible. Not all suffering is needless, like exercise or surgery. Some forms of suffering allow us to come closer to wellbeing mentally and physically.

    Well said. Actually reminds me of what Protesilaos said in this YouTube video on Ares, which I think about a lot

      It’s kinda stolen from characters like Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, and Pema Chodron who themselves found it from yet someone else and so on. I’m giving your video a watch and here’s one in return

  They also say you can’t not be traumatized. Trauma is how we learn to do and be better.

    No, that’s a garbage take. Trauma doesn’t make anyone better. People who learn to overcome their trauma become better by virtue of the challenge they overcame, but that’s like saying becoming a paraplegic made Steven Hawking smarter.

    Some people thrive despite their disabilities and hardships. That doesn’t mean the disabilities and hardships are what made then thrive in the first place.

  Yeah, I’ve always thought if we could break the cycle for a whole generation in one clean cut, it would only take on generation to enlighten the whole world.

  People thought I was crazy.

  Where can I read more about this?

    Tbh I don’t know about read because I~~ can’t read~~ don’t study psychology, but I heard it first from Daniel Meckler, an ex-psychiatrist. He explains it well and it comes up in every video, so in his eyes it’s the most important thing to grasp about human psychology for your own sake or for the sake of practicing it.
