How would one help humanity by suffering himself?
From my experience I've learned to endure pain through suffering and learned a thing or two about dealing with states such as those in myself and others. Having space around those states helped me see that I can indulge in them or watch from the back and not get affected by the feelings and thoughts and others around if that's the case. It is a way towards achieving something but I'd say there is a better way. After all what should be pursued is the opposite of indulgence and abandon in the face of forces such as those.
There's no doubt hunger, suffering, love or even hate can move the AP, however, I tend to think the best approach is unbending intent.
That reminds me of DJ saying that if a warrior needs to eat he finds a way because he is not hungry. To abandon oneself to hunger or suffering is essentially the same in my opinion and one is no longer a warrior if he makes that decision.
What's the difference between a man who does not feel bad witnessing misery and suffering and one who was not like that originally but learned to be so?
