No-one can feel your pain

November 10, Brighton

Only you can feel your pain just as only you can feel thirst, hungry, love.

It is unique to you.

Shaped by your body systems.

In that moment.

We share body systems but not how they have been shaped.

We share suffering but each have our own unique, idiosyncratic version.

The fact that it is yours and shaped by your systems means you can change it.

Everything is changing all the time — that is the main characteristic of life.

Impermanence.

You have some say in your direction with your daily practice — your habits.

Each time you practice, it is a vote for that version of you.

Onwards.
