Taking the route of least suffering

[Nick_98]

I was contemplating today and became aware of something interesting. What if taking the spiritual route is choosing the route of least suffering ? Because maybe ultimately that is the END goal of everyone. But my question is now how is that the right choice to make in our current life. 

We live in a crazy world, a world full of possibilities. But I see myself here in the forum the last few years taking the route of least suffering. Which means I want to attain the spiritual enlightenment , but that's because I don't want to suffer anymore. 

The question here is .. in today's world , is that the right choice ?

We all have experienced being in a state of deep contemplation, that state is blissful compared to a routinely programmed life. We feel that we suffer less. 

But what if that choice is not the right choice to do in today's world ? What if the point is to suffer , but find the right logical route to follow?

This post is for us to adjust our orientations. Should we choose the route of least suffering ? Or should we Pursue something else? I don't know. At the end of the day , Who knows ?

 You are almost hitting the nail on the head. The spiritual path is the only option that doesn't lead directly to disaster. And disaster is not unlike hell. If you're clever, as it seems, you'll see this with absolute clarity. There's no escape; you're alive, you exist. The only way out is inward, through yourself. Anyone who doesn't realize this lacks real vision; they're blinded by mirages.  

It's not that you choose the spiritual path because it's better, it's because it's the only one. The other paths lead to ruin, they're utter madness, but no one notices. It's incredible.
