There’s no way not to suffer. Suffering is an emotion and humans are emotional beings. To suffer is to be without emotions. No amount of detachment from x y x is going to get rid of all suffering. It can lower it, but ultimately everyone suffers for as long as they live in some way or another.
We are truly blind if we think following some teachings / religion will ease all suffering. Some, maybe, but not all.
Yup. There can be no Yin without Yang.
I cannot feel pleasure if I do not know pain.
I think it’s more about identifying and releasing than outright blocking.
similar to meditation, thoughts will drift in but with practice you can identify and release them.
To a point emotion is a emotion suffering is a perspective on that emotion some people can take great pleasure from a emotion that another would find very unpleasant , fear for example,🤔
