You�ve gotten everything you thought you wanted in life and still feel something is missing in your life.
�As long as you are born of the flesh you have to suffer. This is the way of the flesh. Do not try to improve your life. You're making a big mistake. For there is no question about it, if you use positive thinking and use your mind, you may appear to improve your life. But remember, this world in which you live is a world of duality. For every up there is a down. For every forward there is a backward. For every good there is a bad. Therefore, whatever improvement comes in your life, it will last for a while, then will subside, then you become miserable again. You'll start sticking up for your rights and fighting for your survival. Then as you get what you want, you'll be happy again. You're like a yo-yo. You go up and down, up and down. And no matter how much I talk to you about this, you're going to keep on doing this.� � Robert Adams from �Silence of the Heart�

That's a weird quote. I don't think those thousands of children born in impoverished countries suffering from aids from birth ever experience duality. They just suffer & suffer & suffer ..... until death.
As for those with everything, suffering is a relative thing that's expendable.

If you were the only person existing in your own reality, then nothing would be impossible. But there are countless other factors that influence our existence, from Nature to other individuals, and one must never discount chance.
