Healing yourself through writing

Once I believed like many people do that "Life is Suffering". However, as I grew older I realized that "Enlightenment can end suffering".

What is suffering?

Suffering the best way I can describe it now at 77 is not understanding how things really are here on earth.

First of all,

People are not your enemy. They are just trying to survive as best as they can too.

Actually, we are each our own worst enemy in all of this.

So, enlightenment is a lot about making friends with yourself. 

If you can make friends with yourself then you can begin to become enlightened.

And becoming enlightened you cease to suffer.

No one stops suffering entirely while they are alive here on earth.

But, the confusion of hating yourself and hating others can be mostly eliminated through Enlightenment.

But first, you have to make friends with yourself to become enlightened by having compassion for yourself and all others.

By doing this you remarkably reduce your suffering every day you live.

Writing is one of the ways to heal yourself and to become enlightened. Why?

Because if you can explain something to others through your writing then you are already beginning to heal yourself through this explanation.

Because if you can explain things to others you also are explaining things to yourself so your life can be more useful to both you and to others as well.

If you go through life hating yourself and everyone else often you are going to have a very short life.

This is just the way life really is here on earth.

So, heal yourself through writing and being kind to yourself and being kind to others.

This is the way of enlightenment and self healing and the healing of others too.
