Why so many difficulties?

Master Kosen – Published on May 12 – suffering

Question

Why so many difficulties, so many failures in response to so much effort and humanity? Today I regret being a human being. The more I reach out, the less luck I have. Only negativity, only stupid, mean people around me. Where is the light? I found it one day in the desert, but I have never found it again here in France.

Master Kosen’s answer

When you’ve been in the desert… for too lo-o-ong… you wonder what good all those sticky dreams are… na na na na… blindfolded.
