The Dharma Instruction on Suffering and Happiness

A. An Explanation of Suffering and Happiness
As a rule, once people are born into this world, there come to be things they dislike and things they like; the first type is the suffering they endure and the second is the happiness they enjoy. Suffering may be either inadvertent suffering or the suffering they create for themselves; happiness too may be either inadvertent or self-created. But every person without exception dislikes suffering and likes happiness. However, few people try to examine the causes of suffering and happiness. Thus, few of us reflect on whether this suffering will be everlasting or will change into happiness, or whether this happiness in its turn will be everlasting or will change into suffering. But our days should ever be filled with deserved suffering and happiness by our discerning closely the suffering and happiness that are appropriate and inappropriate. So that this inappropriate suffering and happiness will never occur, we should be heedful to make choices based on sound thought in our applications, whether we are walking, standing, sitting, reclining, speaking, keeping silent, active, or at rest.

B. The Causes behind Abandoning Happiness and Embracing Suffering
1. Ignorance of the origins of suffering and happiness.
2. Because, even when we know these origins, we do not act accordingly.
3. Because, by acting as we please and stopping when we please in whatever we see, hear, or think, we have nurtured without forethought habits of body and spirit until they are as inflexible as iron or stone.
4. Because we have not completed our practice until we have clearly changed our temperaments by disciplining body and spirit according to the dharma to eliminate bad habits, and by training them in the right dharma.
5. Our wish for quick results in our applications, without taking any pains.

it is no secret that compassion is superceded by money interests.There are 2 tiers for healthcare in our system, one for the rich and one for the poor.Not even passion exist either, for in order for that to occur there would need to be a prerequisite purposeful thought. One could sincerely say the system of man is devoid of spirit.Suffering of humanity will not be liberated by chemical pushers,eg: doctors, a false belief that they are in partnership for your health.
I know this from experiencing an injury that requires surgery and since I cannot afford the high cost of a surgeon I am relegated to a back list for almost a year. That means I have almost exhausted my welfare disability and after that I will lose my shelter and have no money to eat.Plus the time has complicated the injury by trying to heal incorrectly without surgery during my wait.
