It's interesting what hypotheticals, straw men really, that we project in our minds as we read. When he said "doing nothing" I pictured a literally homeless man drifting through life. Such people can certainly "afford" to do nothing. You presumably pictured something different. In any case neither of us is likely imagining what OP has actually lived.


Your reply is dismissive of the OPs grievances they shared with us all.

Suffering, and life, is a relative experience.


I think the poster wanted to be encouraging.

"We all know it could be considered as something, but, that given, let us just turn perspective and say: it's nothing".


Yes, my goal in sharing my story is not to garner pity but to give hope that it is possible to recover from even great loss and come out on the other side stronger. Blessings to everyone suffering right now.


So you agree: "From the point of view of the scientist, it is something. From the point of view that matters, it is nothing".


I am not saying this to complain. I have no regrets or complaints. I am free from suffering as a result of going through this experience.

I live at the monastery full time now.


Incredibly bad take if you don't know this person's life and experience


This is utter nonsense. "People in Africa eat less than you do so you have no right to feel hungry" levels of nonsense.


Gold medal at the trauma olympics I see.


Drown in the ocean or drown in the bath it's all the same to your body.
