This is specially for Sim Ai , a SWS (Soka Women Spirit) sharing by auntie Stacy which she missed last Friday night.
There are two types of illness
- illness of the body :- physical well being of the body
and
- illness of the mind
Illness of the mind here is not referring to the mental health of our mind but more to the fundamental darkness that lurks within our inner self.
Our fundamental darkness consist of three poisons:-
* greed - comparing yourself with others, envious and wanting more.
* anger - angry with your environment and filled with hatred
* stupidity/ignorance - naive and driven by blindness
I'm sure every human has experience all three as these three are connected. Greed drives us to anger and that leads us to stupidity.
For example , Miss H is jealous of her friend who had the new phone. This greed leads to anger and the questioning of "why must she have the new phone? I want one too" which in turn leads to spending money on the new phone, ignorance. In another time, Miss H would be jealous of another friend with a newer phone and the vicious cycle continues.
No human can escape from this fundamental darkness of illness. The best we can do is supress it, to control it.
* wisdom - able to think wisely out of the greedy situation
* courage - to rise above your angry life condition
* compassion - to give, to help rather than standing alone
An additional piece :- in life we cannot escape from the four sufferings
Birth, illnesss, old age and death
Everyone of us SURE have been/will go through these four stages.
Since we cannot escape from death, we might as well make the best of our life by spreading value, by choosing to stand up and fight so that we could take our final breath with no regret.
