It really hurts me to see people suffer

Master Kosen – Published on June 12 – suffering

Question

I hope everything is going well for you.
The thing is, it really hurts me to see people around me suffering so much, deeply hurts me to see the people I love trapped. I don’t understand why the universe was designed with so much suffering. Why do human beings have to endure all this?
What is the purpose of it all? What is this cosmic order that created suffering? I can’t respect this cosmic order, because it hurts me deeply that it allows so much misfortune and suffering for everyone.
How can I trust the cosmic order? I want to be able to accept this so I can truly help others. Please help me.

This is your reality. Change yourself and the world will change. That is the message I give myself every morning.
