which brings up the question, what made it so that we suffer?

so spiritual work is taming hostility and making it habitable

spiritual work is survival work

Great question. We are products of evolution. Evolution does not select for being at peace and at ease. It doesn't even select for truth, it selects for survival. It selects for access to a thin filtered version of reality that will help us survive in what until very recently used to be a very hostile environment. To me, martial arts are an attempt to walk middle path of survival through peace. Language is another layer, forcing us to be more left-brained, which is a rather incomplete, disconnected side of the mind, the side for breaking things down. Mindfulness may also be a way to shift brain more toward the right again, to find balance, put the world back together.
