Marblehead Posted August 21, 2010 Yeah, I think that suffering is only second to fear as far as blockages preventing us from living our life to it fullest potential. And I suppose it is true that we cause most of our own suffering by having unrealistic desires and hold to negativities of the past. Â We all need lighten up. Life really can be a bowl of cherries without the stones. Â Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
