Life is a very hard event, set up that way for a purpose. It's not meant to be easy. You're here to do a job, one that most people go through their entire lives and never understand because they don't look deep enough. Life is not a superficial event. It's complex, it's purposeful, and it requires your participation.

The less you understand your purpose and the process of life, the more suffering there is. Does understanding take away all the pain in life? No, it doesn't, but it can take away the suffering. There is nothing random about anyone's life. The more you can understand the process, the more your soul can help you through it.
