Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served it's purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realise it is unnecessary.

Through habitual mental judgement and emotional contraction, you have a personalised, reactive relationship to people and events in your life. These are all forms of self-created suffering... to the ego they are satisfying. The ego enhances itself through reactivity and conflict.

Start practicing "not naming" with small things. If you miss the plane, drop and break a cup, or slip and fall in the mud, can you refrain from naming the experience as bad or painful? Can you immediately accept the "isness" of that moment?

Watch what happens when you don't name an experience as "bad" and instead bring an inner acceptance, an inner "yes" to it, and so let it be as it is.

Chapter 10, Suffering and the End of Suffering, Silence and Stillness, Eckhart Tolle
