  Oh I guess I should be happy that ICE only raided my neighbors and not me.

    Well…yes? Are you not happy you did not get raided? Would you rather have had that you also got raided?

      My point is: Just because someone isn’t “suffering as much as others” doesn’t mean the stuff they go through (like the fears) aren’t valid.

      Both points are true:

      1. You can recognize that, yes you have it better than others.

      BUT ALSO:

      2. It doesn’t mean you should accept status quo forever.

      Because accepting status quo is like saying, “why are you complaining about trump? at least you aren’t in taliban afghanistan or north korea”

      If you’re upset with my feedback, adjust your expectations.

      • surewhynotlem@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        That’s exactly the point. I’m not upset because I don’t expect people online to have any sort of sense. I adjusted that expectation long ago and I’m much happier for it.

        But you seem to be assuming that I’m saying everyone should just drop their expectations and be happy. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that suffering is caused by desire. So if you can reduce your desire, you can reduce your suffering.

        But many times you can’t, or shouldn’t, reduce your desire. I won’t ever desire to be okay with what’s happening in my country, for example. I choose to be unhappy with it.

        So choose to be fucking unhappy. It’s okay to be unhappy. I’m not going to judge you for it.

  Isn’t this a Genet of Buddhism?

  • surewhynotlem@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yep, that’s all it is. Desire is the cause of suffering.

    Which isn’t to say you should never desire anything. Just know the price and choose.
