Stoicism

There are only two forms of suffering, mental and physical. You are not your body or mind!

Once you accept this suffering won’t be a problem anymore. 

Only when there is no fear of suffering, do you naturally want to walk full stride wanting to experience all life can offer.

When there is fear of suffering you take half steps, you only want to do what is safe.

There is nothing safe in life except death, but life, anything can happen 😁

I think that’s the hardest part

I’m not saying it’s easy. Otherwise we’d all be born stoics. I promise I’ve struggled with this a lot in my life. Ask @robmsolomon.

My point is all paths end at accepting reality or you’re having a psych episode.

May as well sharpen up the ability to take the path of least resistance

But don’t you think accepting reality sometimes is a bit tricky 
For example when we lose a loved one, you can accept that the person isn’t here anymore but the mental weight and suffering still comes with accepting that reality

There is only one tried and true way to limit suffering humanity has found. /stoicism  

There’s many ways to describe it, but it really comes down to accepting reality for what it is. If you can change your mindset to not fight with reality you’ll remove the vast majority or suffering
