With the Buddha I’d say, “all is suffering”,
or at least, “all is sacrifice”.
But, sometimes there’s a choice to make:
painful futility one way,
fruitful pain the other.

Yeah. I was thinking something like this today.
I think (a large) part of the fruitfulness is being able to take suffering for the sake of others.
whatever
like Christ
what did you have in mind Matt?
‘Love’ is ‘?) All of the above’
yep, like Christ. Phil 2.
I’d say some suffering is disaster, that it is too much that there can never be reckoning or accounting of it as being justified in view of some goal (salvation, sanctification etc. etc.) eg. The father who is killed in war, the partner who is raped, the death of civilians etc.
All is suffering and we must learn to laugh and not care too much… The meaning is in the moment, and we get more than one
