All-in creatures.

There can be HUGE suffering.

And there can be relatively mild suffering.

Which can still feel huge.

Because it’s all relative.

When we’re deeply lost in life stories (which is most of the time), we simply feel what we feel and don’t constantly compare that to earlier moments in the story.

We don’t think ‘hm, this suffering feels quite bad but the suffering three years ago was MUCH worse, so halle-fucking-lujah!’

We’re all-in creatures.

Fully angry.

Completely worrying.

Totally sad.

Lost in the present act.

It’s all relative.

But it absolutely doesn’t feel that way.
