we are all suffering, in the Buddhist sense.

Life is insufficent.
Things fade, we grow attached to ppl and things we can't keep.

Suffering is just something humans navigate.

I dunno who is suffering the most.
I can't gauge another's suffering.

But i think that we like to imagine the ppl that hurt us only do it because they suffer more inside.

I can't clap to that rationale anymore.

If somebody is hurting you,
you stop them.

assuming they are suffering
maintains the status quo.

opression should be met with resistance, not existential sympathy
