I've been reading some of that philosophy/psychology crapola and I've learned there's really only one important question to ask yourself in life.
Do I want to suffer or do I not want to suffer?
Okay, I found one more. How many of those puffy onion rings can I eat in my life?
In other words, suffering is man-made. Your metal state decides whether you will suffer or not.
Your mental state will also decide how many onion rings you will eat. They are man-made too.
That's why the two questions. Man-made.
But the really important question is the first…
Well, anyway. Those two questions. Answer them.
