Breath is life. Inhaling… Exhaling… Things come together and things fall a part. Into every life comes pain & suffering, and joy & pleasure. Suffering is not Divine judgement any more than pleasure is God’s reward. Both are part of life.
Both are simply part of life!

To welcome reality as your teacher?

Suffering is NOT Punishment, Pleasure is NOT Reward
