The main reason behind human
suffering is our paradoxical belief
systems of humanity that reward
suffering (all current religions
believe in some kind of suffering to
be necessary to achieve spirituality,
nirvana, heaven or any other kind of
pleasant afterlife), humilty (the
paradox of being told to make
yourself proud, your family, country
etc. proud but that humility is the
greatest virtue and pride a deadly
sin), guilty and shameful s*xuality or
none at all (despite the fact that
s*xuality is a necessary instrument
for life to exist in the first place), and
selflessness when we are meant to be
by nature selfish in order to preserve
ourselves and our wellbeing. We are
taught to strive for extermination or
subjugation of our egos when our
egos are us, our sense of self,
necessary for life to exist.
In my answer to “why so many
people have depression nowadays?â€
Mikis Hasson's answer to Why do so
many people have depression
nowadays? , I have analyzed how
despite the conviction by the healing
industry, conventional and
otherwise, depression is not caused
by trauma but by mass cognitive
dissonance, the distress experienced
by hold two or more contradictory
and mutually exclusive beliefs or
realities at the same time.
When we are meant to suffer and
sacrifice in this lifetime to achieve a
theoretical afterlife, when we are
told it is a sin to be proud when
pride denotes love, when we are
taught to be ashamed and guilty of
our s*xuality when it is in our nature
and necessary for life to exist and
propagate and when we are told to
be selfless, a ridiculous proposition
since nature has given the
responsibility for each being to take
care of its own needs as a priority,
we enter intense cognitive
dissonance. We are therefore in
internal conflict, ashamed and guilty
for who we are by nature.
Basically, every major religion
declares that God is a f**kup and a
failure! After all, God gave us egos,
s*xuality and the wish to be happy,
which is our default position as
living beings. Pain is about the
present and pain is unavoidable. But
suffering is about the past and the
future, and suffering is optional.
However we are blind to this fact due
to universal paradoxes created
initially as a survival mechanism to
allow us to coexist in ever larger
communities, making social death a
greater fear than physical death. To
