I especially appreciate this point ~ that discontent is necessary as an indication that something needs attention. It’s the whole #symptoms are #messengers idea. If we just try to push #suffering away so we can be “normal” and functional, we might never understand the cause.

This is #dhamma territory for me. We need to build #distress #tolerance so we can turn toward pain ~ unless it is debilitating or causing harm of course ~ with wisdom and see the causes, not just the symptoms.

''Earlier, on March 29, the SHOT Telegram channel reported that an unknown virus had appeared in Russia that causes coughing up #blood and high #fever. The authors noted that the #symptoms of those infected are the same - it all starts with a slight #malaise, but after a few days the condition worsens and can remain so for several weeks.''
