Heh!
What I mean is that discipline (such as stalking, recapitulation, shutting the internal dialogue, etc) can be PAINFUL and if you don't do it there is no chance of freeing oneself from suffering.
There is no solution if you can't pass the remedy down your throat.
We suffer with our identification with our self-image mainly. At any
rate even Buddhas suffer in worlds such as this one.
Real compassion can be extremely painful, but that's not a good reason to avoid the path.
Self-pity has a place in our lives that lasts almost forever. We have to stick to heightened awareness in order to stay beyond it.
Isn't this what I said? ....accept yourself?
