Undoing the Pain and Suffering by Adopting a Better Perspective

OUR ABUSED SELF

You may think that you had an okay early childhood experience. Today, you are able to laugh, play, love, dance, and otherwise enjoy your life. However, some of you may have an unsettling feeling that something is missing in your life.

Many more of us wake up to pain, suffering, and jumbled emotions. We are sad, if not depressed most of our day. For some of us the problems are even worse.

Abuse came from many forms. Being ignored by a parent is abuse. As children we need an emotional closeness with our parents. All the yelling we encountered as children was abuse. Then of course there are the even more serious forms of abuse like physical and sexual abuse.

All of these forms have psychological consequences. Fear, emotional pain, and psychological issues like ADD, Depression, and Schizophrenia are some of these consequences.

When we are attacked we experience fear. Prolonged fear leads to overwhelming stress levels which result in conditioned pain and suffering. This means that even though the abuser may be out of our lives we still cannot get over the pain, suffering, and other psychological distress.

My impression of some modern people is individuals who are hurting from the depression, the pain in these persons is so intense that it dominates their life, and persons who want to escape but do not know what to do to find relief from the pain and suffering.

US AS OUR ABUSER

The worst problem is that we are now our own abusers. No one controls our thoughts. Society taught us to be negative, cynical, and skeptical. However, we can always adopt a better attitude.

The power in depression is that the person looses all hope. The idea that there is no hope compounds the dilemma of the person. If there is no way to solve the problem, then the pain and suffering will always exist.

This is how we spend our time. After many attempts at life we failed until we finally adopted the idea that we will always fail. The emotions from our failures compound the emotions we are carrying from the abuse we experienced as children. Therefore, here we are in pain and suffering and complicating our situation with a bad attitude.
