Minimise your suffering

Is there actually a way to minimise the suffering that you are enduring in your life?

One possible method is to cultivate a big, wholesome, compassionate heart.
When you view your big heart as a lake, and suffering as salt, than the amounts of salt/suffering, when poured into a big lake, will be diluted and "non-existent'. The salt in comparison to the water in the lake, is minimal, so why focus on it, especially since it has already been diluted.


Happiness is available to all of us. It is only when you focus only on your sufferings, that you magnify the salt, the suffering, and miss out on the joy/water around you.

For you to touch life, to be alive, you first need to be available, to be present.
