WHY SUFFERING EXISTS Have you suffered? You have just received a painful medical inoculation against the illness of indifference. Anger and bitterness are nasty side effects of this shot but if you continue to grow, the anger and bitterness will fade away with the sweet passing of time. They will be choked out by better things in your Being. But the Compassion will grow in you for all Eternity, until it is a deep, primal, worldwide Forest of Love and Comfort. Have patience with yourself. A weed grows up overnight but it takes a long time to grow a Forest of Sequoia.
Time Withers the Weed Suffering produces two plants The weed and the Flower Anger and Compassion Weakness and Power
The Flower evolves forever Time withers the weed For to learn Compassion Is All Life's Greatest Need.
It can't be learned in Paradise There is no suffering there. So all must tramp this vale of tears Beyond what their Hearts can bear
The Angel and the Alien The Christ and the Flea All must gain a broken Heart And Eyes with which to see
The suffering of all Creatures The Powered and the Poor Indifference is the illness Suffering is the Cure.
