Some Cat Wisdom
Here is some beautiful wisdom for you humans!
True freedom and the end of suffering is living in such a way as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience at this moment. This inner alignment with NOW is the end of suffering.
Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no. Suffering cracks open the shell of ego and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
Unhappiness needs a mind made “me” with a story. It needs time - past and future. When you remove time from your unhappiness, what is is that remains? the “suchness” of this moment remains.
Suffering begins when you mentally name or label a situation as undesireable or bad. You resent a situation and that resentment personalizes it and brings in a reactive “me”.
Watch what happens when you don’t name an experience “bad” and instead bring an inner acceptance, an inner “yes” to it, and let it be as it is.
From Stillness Speaks, by Eckhart Tolle
