Topic: Why Others Don't Need To See Your Suffering

Suffering isolates us and cuts us off from others. For this reason, when we are in suffering we want contact with others. In suffering, because we want contact with others, especially so when we are in pain, we want to tell others how much we hurt. We want to tell others how much we are suffering. In short, we want to complain. One of the reasons we want to complain is because we often feel helpless in suffering or in trauma. This feeling of helplessness in suffering and trauma makes us want to pull others into our life to help us, comfort us, and to be with us in our need. However, other people have their own life and their own issues. Other people need encouragement and help. Some people even need more help than we do. Complaining about our lot in life may make us feel better but complaining generally takes others down. For this reason, we must try very hard to keep from putting our burdens upon others. Instead of putting our burdens upon others, let us try to help others even when we need help ourselves.
