I know, I was saying the same thing. Probably the only true ism there is. Lol. Mentalism is missing too.

The Chinese God of Chi Ching Suffering

Maybe i'm an ambivert leaning more towards introverted. It's true I do tend to want to recharge after being out say a night of socializing. I tend to not want to do that say two nights in a row r even three. Three days in-between or more is good for me, but I can, if I have to, do a back-to-back; but then I'll need a week off..lol. I'm talking about drinking and partying even if it's just me and one other, not just going to the mall or dinner etc.

In my day to day life, I don't have a problem talking to people. I can socialize no problem even with strangers; but can be very quiet and reserved also. I also like to be alone at times and go into my shell for my down time which is more of who i am.

Both

Those are the originals. Humans are the copies. Back to homeostasis.

Neither does suffering. Where is the existential Reality of or in suffering. God has no form, how can the formless suffer. If you're going to include the notion that the human body is a biological object then you have lost the premise of your argument because the human body is being imagined by God, so is suffering.

I like this answer. 😍

Coconut oil and aloe vera are great for sun protection.

No kidding. I thought I was. I think most people on here recognize this by now. If they don't, they need an ass whooping from Leo and his broom stick. What I'm saying is the mind has faulty thinking and veiled perceptions. That's why suffering arises. Reality was designed this way for us to Awaken to our true nature which doesn't suffer. Truth doesn't suffer. Only a veiled and distorted egoic mind does. The closer we get to Truth, the less we suffer.

I agree.

Are you trippin'. You seem to be talking to yourself and replying to thin air.

I think you and @Israfilare pretty much saying the same thing but your perspective on the solution is just from a different angle. His is more, I'd say, therapeutic and yours more straight to the root. What some of us do is look at the contents and not the structure and we try to deal with the issue based upon contents. A shopping addict's life can become just as disruptive as say a crack addict's, the contents are different but the structure similar. We have to understand that a lot of these so-called problems we have stem from the same root and therefore can be "fixed" by the same method. The human mind likes to prioritize one thing over another.

Ok, now I have to think. I do enough of that on my off time. Lol. Thanks for the clarification.

Not sure what you're saying in respect to my last sentence.

Got it.

It's funny the types of things we suffer as humans. I bet you lot of people would trade this type of suffering for the suffering they're experiencing. I'm currently engaging in another thread that's about suffering and if God suffers or not, so this part of your post got my attention for this reason.

This is what I have a HUGE problem with. Do you want Truth or do you want delusion. It's one thing to know the Truth but still live within the illusion knowing it's just an illusion and even feeling the realness of it. I think you're the one being immature and irresponsible for not trying to at least see another's perspective on the topic at hand. Not saying either is correct but you're not interested in asking how one derived at what they're saying or even enquire deeper to see if maybe you're missing something first before you so push your insight without leaving any room for another perspective. I said what I said up top and I could be wrong, but that's my perspective; but I'm still open to hearing other's as it may shed some light unto mine and may broaden it or even change because I was shown something otherwise that I might not have previously recognized. Sometimes it gets confusing when talking about this stuff because Self, self, being, ego, you, I etc can be misinterpreted while one could be referring to the "small" self the interpretation could be meant to imply the "higher" self. I still stick to my original post when i said God does not suffer. God just Is. How can God suffer. Yes, there appears to be suffering, but it's just an appearance. Appearing from Consciousness. If you look in a mirror and see a reflection of yourself, is that reflection you, can the reflection walk away without you walking away. No. If there is visible suffering showing on your person and you look in the mirror and you see yourself reflection suffering, did the mirror do that. Is the mirror suffering. No. Well, God is that mirror. If two people are fighting in a room is the space in the room feeling the effects of the fight. No. God is like that space in the room. God cannot be touched. It is omnipotent and omnipresent. It is like the space from which everything appears even suffering. It can become all these things but in it's original form it is no-thing and no-thing can suffer because it is that which the suffering is arising from. Now, someone please tell me if I'm wrong here because maybe I'm all confused and need some clarity.

You said English is your third language and you are apologizing if there's any confusion in your terms. Boy/Girl, whatever you are, you need to start teaching some English to some of these folks because I find your communication style, grammar and English impeccable. I even had to look that word up to make sure I was using it in the right context so as to match in with your vocabulary use. Kidding about that part, but your name suits your style of writing and I can tell you're an intellectual and/or academic. I can imagine if English was your first language, it would probably sound like Shakespeare.

I see myself in all 4.

This right here explains certain aspects of my core that was accompanied with a "why". Now It makes more sense to me now.

How is an app foolish. Did you ask it a question and it gave a foolish answer. "Hey Tinder find me a date". "No, go find your own date".

Done. Marriage and babies and happily ever after with that line.🤣
