My experience tells me that the case is definitely the latter one:

...the answers are so fucking simple and right under our noses that we’ve missed it near our whole lives

A few thoughts in response to what you have to say, based on my understanding/experience:

  • everything is pin-point accurate. Accepting this is to go with the flow (of life, the universe or whatever the BIG thing is :)
  • an experience of suffering/hardship is similarly accurate. We suffer when we resist the notion that it is accurate - we then fight. Instead, accepting the accuracy of all experience and not resisting also allows for learning and growth and, ultimately, the dissolution of the experience of suffering (as this particular strand is no longer required).
  • it is a process of discovery. What anyone else says or does may guide or provide examples, but ultimately I am my own highest authority. In other words, only I can find out - noone can tell me. We are, necessarily, our own gurus :D
  • by comparing our experience to another's (positively or negatively), we not only relinquish the opportunity to understand it and grow from it, but we also end up resisting and suffering
  • everything is connected, therefore anything can inform on anything else. The outer is a reflection of the inner, and vice-versa, it can actually be read as such.
  • the nature of the universe is fundamentally benign....... Life is Shit is a perception, it is not reality, however real it may feel

Just my thoughts on your post @rok-sivante. Cheers.

Masterfully stated.

It's tough, I agree, @rok-sivante to watch others suffer, sometimes helplessly (in the past year or two, I've lost quite a few friends, family, acquaintances, etc...)

Sometimes, the suffering is emotional/physical and we can alleviate it, if only partly, with kindness and compassion. Other times, it's psychological/mental, and there's not much we can do... Still other times, the best we can, is to give the sufferer space to help themselves and arrive at a space where they might more readily receive others help.

There is a story that was passed onto me of a great grandfather that I never met. He was a man of faith, ravaged by cancer and dying. Instead of despairing or asking Why Me? he would bite into the wooden post by his bed and say: Dear Lord, if this is a test, increase the pain, do not lesson it...

Astonishing to consider such radical acceptance and gratitude in the face of pain & death. By association, I am reminded of these difficult words by poet/ mystic, Rumi:

'If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?'

I remember, not too long ago, visiting a Frida Kahlo exhibit about her life. Meditating on her last painting: how after a life of intense physical pain, compounded by emotional suffering, her last artistic offering was a still life of cut watermelons, with these words carved into them: "Long Live Life"

Remarkable such affirmation... and, echoes of Kafka's aphorism: 'In your struggle against life, side with life.' Viva La Vida

I spend my time everyday on your blog, just to get myself educated with good articles and you dont disappoint me at all.

Talking about life hmmm
This is a very big topic

Life is just up's and down

Funniest thing no man is contented
We keep wanting more as needs keep growing,
People getting into problem,
People celebrating
People dying

No wonder the bible says in all things there is a reason

But one thing am always on,
I embrace life the way i sees it but i dont let it surpass me as i try to always let life know am not not settling for less.

Thanks again for that stuff, you can see how i was planning separate and life hit me separate lol.

cant wait for the light at the end of the tunnel

@rok-sivante this is another dope topic.

@rok-sivante, I really felt the depth of feelings, truely life seems tough and challenging, people passed through different tedious circumstances all in the name of life tests, suffering upon suffering daily,
but what can we do?
how can we help out?

Some of these challenges are so hectic that irrespective of the level of empathy, no other person can undergo such trial or challenges except the victim itself.

but here is the goodnews; they is no awkward circumstances or situations that doesn't have a positive side of it, life challenges are like a coin, they sure have a positive and negative outcome, but it's only the optimistic people who endure to the end that can benefit from the positive side of any event.

EVERY CHALLENGE IS A TEST, OVERCOME THE TEST AND GRAB THE TESTIMONY

THANKS FOR SHARING

Rok, the thing is people only understand these things when it happens to them or someone they love.

I remember when all of this dawned on me...

...I'll never forget the feeling of that moment.

The realization that ALL of the worries in life I had up to that point were worth NOTHING!!!

I realized I was being stupid, naive, life is too precious to worry about the small things.

I've bounced back from that sad moment, but that realization accompanies me... and thanks to it I live better.

Now, I see my soon-to-be-wife worrying about some pretty minimal stuff - as do all women, let's be honest here, and no I'm not a mysoginist - and I tell her constantly that the greater things are what we have to be worried about... these things are easilly fixed!

There are certain moments in life that change your perception of it FOREVER:

  • The moment you realize your father isn't the strongest most infalible man on Earth;
  • The moment you realize you're not going to live forever;
  • The moment you realize this you're posting about...

... that is emotional maturity, part of walking the walk of life... path towards what the spiritual people say it's the Path of Enlightment.

Well-said, Max.

And I forgot to reply to your last comment about the delegation for the game... i’ll pass. Never done delegations, not interested at this point, not really into gaming, and confused as fuck at the whole prospect. Good luck, however - looks like an interesting creative project and excellent innovation for utilizing Steem... :-)

Life can really throw one to any direction regardless how well you initially planned it. Life comes with his own plans like you wrote the other time in one of your previous post. As the day unfolds, life throws challenges at us and we just have to face it either way it comes.

We simply have to learn from what life brings and move ahead after all what does not kill a man makes him stronger. Thanks for this lines of wisdom, there is always a lot about life to be learnt from your post.

Some battles can only be fought alone.. This is the point.. I am sure every person had this experience in their life that they give some advices or warnings to their friends who are in a critical situation but we saw that they didn't listen to us.. Because they cant observe themselves from outside like us. So they need to overcome it by themselves. We can not do anything other than watching it..

I think for a moment and contemplate the meaning of your post is Mr @rok-sivante. I have experienced trauma (not the trauma of violence but the trauma of natural disasters) that prolonged when We experienced the greatest disaster that is when the biggest Tsunami event in Aceh on 26-12-2004 ago. To me Trauma ('clash') is a sudden experience and we never expect it to be very painful or disappointing, which is more than the stress situation experienced by human beings in everyday life under normal conditions can also be mass, for example due to domestic violence, rape, natural disaster, war, riots, or mass accidents. In everyday life that we often experience, experiencing unpleasant events or making us disappointed is a very common thing and it is commonplace. But the disappointment, the shock, or the fear of recurrence that we experience as a result of that event will usually disappear or diminish by itself over time in a way to appreciate the blessings of God that we as human beings are endowed with the ability to forget. However, it is not so with trauma. A person is traumatized when he shows a number of symptoms, both physically and psychologically, which continues even though the traumatic event has been a long time. Starting from the loss of appetite, not concentration, easy to forget, easy to cry, heart palpitations, dizziness, easy suspicious of someone, always fear the same bad events will be repeated, difficulty sleeping (or even sleeping), to withdraw from association and loss of passion to perform daily activities. There are times when a person tends to suppress his sense of trauma until hidden deep in the subconscious on the surface seems normal. The latter usually occurs when there is conscious or unconscious evasion or rejection of the person concerned to avoid pain. This type of trauma is like a time bomb. Or nuclear If in the future there is a similar or similar event, then the sleeping 'monster' will rise again and ransacked our lives. This is called the long-term impact of trauma. If the trauma is not treated immediately, it is feared could develop into a more serious psychiatric disorder in the future, such as hysteria, phobia, to depression. No matter how much a person's soul is due to life, there must still be a weak gap that can be penetrated by trauma. Advice from me, go back to God's way and we should be more grateful for this life, suppose all this trials / trauma is a test from God that will make us stronger and stronger in living this life.

Life can really be a bag of shit at times, filled with envious ill treats and wickedness but still, there comes a time when it shows love.

Family members of incredibly dear friends kidnapped by psychopaths for ransom.

This is one very point that makes human life so bad, one reasons why God had regret for creating man in the scriptures.
We are the enemies of our own selves at times, we inflict pain and more suffer on our fellow humans.
But not withstanding all the shit that happens, love still comes at its time.

indeed very very unusual motivation @rok-sivante

permission resteem

Granted. Although you never need to ask...

Thanks for sharing this photography

@rok-sivante i can relate to this too many times soemtiems i just cry it whole day eat as much or jist sleep it dont last forever though

Writings that are deeply touched in the heart, this is probably the so-called meaning of life. I feel happy to read and live it @rok-sivante

There is not always light at the end of the tunnel... I am going through a hard period in my life and only me, alone I can override, even if I have my girlfriend trying to help...

If you're not experiencing yourself you can't understand the pain. It's true, life is a bitch...but we can enjoy a bitch sometimes...right?

love your words.

🙏💖

what a lovely post, life itself is a puzzle, a complicated maths with no future nor present definite answer

Are you protesting about what happens to human life? Here is life, with all problems, remember one thing, all there are two different sides, black and white, good and bad, heaven and hell. Where are we standing?

We Should Spread Just "PEACE & LOVE" in this world in our limited life. you convey Awesome message, Thanks @rok-sivante.

im motivated with these words mr @rok-sivante

Maybe not all stories have happy endings.
from Indonesia . Nice to meet you,

I'm not very good at interpreting what you say in this post. I am trying to understand some basic sentences. I conclude that: "love and human beings are very closely related. Every human must have love, whether it is love to the creator, love to fellow human beings, love to fellow creatures of god, and love to alam.Cinta is a gift given by God to all created creatures. Man is a social creature that can not live alone, in human life must require a companion, but the character of each human being is different, therefore to unite it needs to be based on the love that humans can coexist. human beings can protect each other and protect ". Thank you @rok-sivante

very touched and I want to learn from you
can i communicate with you?

I want to learn from you

Well, there’s nearly two years of posts here on my blog, and always more on the way... ;-)

Indeed life is full of shit, through our deeds, all we do is find the right deodorant to mask the stench!

Lol.

And perhaps use the shit as fertilizer, until the flowers bloom and that smell takes over... :-)

Lol. You get it @rok-sivante

About a year ago, life took a major shit on me. At that moment everything everything seemed bleak.
I didn't wait for anybody to tell me what to, I picked myself up, struck off the dust and made an effort to turn my lemons into lemonade.
I noticed that someone had disapproved the lemonade theory in a previous comment, but I don't think he's right (I do respect his opinion).
When life throws lemons at you, make lemonades out of it. The truth is that some lemonades may not be as sweet as others because of the kind of lemons(life situations) thrown at you, but don't just sit back and sulk.
Afterall, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

amen.

although, I'm not too sure about the whole lemon metaphor. Frankly, I love lemons straight. lol. :-)

Hello brother,
Let me give a little comment, I think it's interesting to be reading material.

Yes I think we agree with that brother @rok-sivante
There must be a gap behind rocks though, it depends on what effort and effort we will make in facing the difficulties we will pass.

Because the sky is not forever blue and the clouds will turn instantly into gray if indeed the sky becomes cloudy. So do your best to get the best results as well.

As we know that something we plant today we will certainly pick the result someday, we ourselves are a boost from within, so why should we wait for motivation from others if we ourselves do not want to care about ourselves.

Buddy, Wherever we want there is a way, so take advantage of all the opportunities that exist and do not we throw away all the opportunities we already have.

Your posts are just wow

So good to know that we are all Self-contained Universes having all we need within. Once we stop fearing for ourselves, we stop fearing for others...and we have always been safe and sound, for no matter how separated we feel we never left Oneness to begin with.

Sometimes we have to let it happen whatever bad is going on in our life. the only way out from the pain is going through the pain.It is a fact of life that we will experience pain time and time again – pain changes people. It may take a while for the pain to leave your body and your heart or it may be engraved inside of you forever, but I realized that every time I experienced unbearable pain, I changed significantly – changed for the better. There is something about going through a lot of pain that makes you want to be a good human being.

In our side of the world we have a beautiful song:
Main zindgi ka saath nibata chala gya... Har fiqr ko duwain main udata chala gya
"I became the companion of my life and every sad movement was lived like smoking in lonelyness".

Sometimes the life suck and sucks again but the man with hope may help himself to get rid of hurdles. It has to be him himself. We may think of any sympathy to empathy but these will be either not there or will be of temporary period.
There is negativety, corruption, pollution and greed in everywhere, every mind is suffering with it in some place of time but whom to blame, whom to correct. Everyone needs to play his part, seems impossible than where to go.
If a person is offending to other what will be our duty? Do we need to close our eyes, mask our faces, turn our faces? No body will answer no. But it is also gospel truth that no body can do anything too.
When I read this post, I thought there is something wrong but the reality falls like this.
The words like bitch is fucking seems to be derogatory but what will replace it, if the human behavior is like this. Hope I did not offend anybody or collided my expressions with anybody.
