“It is not life that causes suffering, but our expectation that life should be the way we want.” ~Kōdō Sawaki
…this is the type of quote that I would normally enthusiastically cheer… but I have epistemological problems with this kind of thinking as an adult… what is it when your only expectation IS the opportunity to be and exists as an independent will unto oneself… should that not be the minimum asked of for ANY one being..?
