neccessity & justification

WE do not have the powers to do so much as one would wish probably to believe, foolishly enough. Its a good thing we all have restraints on our powers, for it seems that those that attain power, seem to fail sort of its responsibility. A brief look at current affairs should prove my point. However, that power must be somewhere, inevitably, and yes, there have been leaders and powerful fingures who were responsible to the extent plausible. Prophets, Ghandhi, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, Ho Chi Min of Vietnam, etc, etc.



The reason, why to suffer is a bad thing, is cause it is to suffer. It is one of those things that people do not prefer, especially when it is unneccessary and unjustifiable. Which means, there are some sufferings that are neccessary and justifiable. For instance, falling over and hurting yourself, cause your too drunk or stoned. Inciting someone enough with incorrect intention so that they reap revenge pyshically.

So suffering, is something inevitable. Who, does not suffer in some way or another? Who is so powerful and independent? None. But, there are things justifiable and neccessary, and things that are not so, to a degree.

See, you can look at your own life, and look at things within you and around you. Use the idea of justified and neccessary things. There is a sense of Justice and Neccessity that can be acquired with some reflective contemplation no? Your not born with it, but when people open their eyes and see, it becomes clear.

What & Who, How & Why, things are neccessary and justifiable, that is the question. Is that not the case?

Are there not the questions were are born to, and the questions we live to and die to?

What do you think?



=======================================



we have something right? That detests suffering to an extent within us all, even if its of a purely selfish self-centered nature. But IF IT IS the case that we are born and come into existence from nowhere, and die and leave nowhere. As in, we just came from non-existence to existence, and from existence to non-existence, without any real consequence.... either suffering means nothing, as life and death mean nothing. OR, suffering must mean something, as we have discussed. So does not life and death must mean something? Otherwise what the hell is the point of contemplating and feeling, of such a thing that is suffering?

What does life and death mean to you then, I ask again. : )
