What's the root cause of suffering?

[The Buddha]

2 hours ago, Someone here said:

How? This goes against our survival instinct. 

Well that is precisely the reason why everyone is not enlightened yet. It is to go so beyond your survival instinct, that u even fall in love with suffering, pain and death, how crazy is that? Just to understand a bit how radical is to be enlightened.

Because for suffering to exist you have to suffer suffering, it's the same with fear, to fear to exist, you have to fear the very own fear, fear and suffering are totally okay, it is the fear of fear and the suffering of suffering which mess it all up. Otherwise, they would just be the same as a hiccup, no big deal it will pass and moreover I intesely love the hiccup, it's natural, it's in fact lovely and beautiful.

You understood it perfectly, didn't u? Now try to embody it and live every second with this great truth

This is one of the reasons they say only insane people and lucky people get enlightened, because to live by this principle it is really one of the most insane realities I can even grasp.

@Zigzag Idiot I really enjoyed it, thanks for the wisdom. I think that no one commented it because when talking about suffering everyone wants to go to the root and not to the branches. So yeah that was super nice to understand it, but if i can understand that root principle from where all suffering is generated I would therefore understand all it's branches and not only this model of 4.
