Suffering as a choice

Franz Kafka Suffering "You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do  and it accords with your nature, but perhaps  the very holding back/  is the one//  suffering you could avoid." me:*sometimes when the anger comes, like a wild, hungry Alaskan bear, impatient, self-centered, territorial; but if we, instead of criticizing it and blaming ourselves as in 'here i go again', we just bow to it and honor it as a sacred being with its own self, then, breathe, attain the neutral posture; it may stand still for a moment in between breaths, lose its balance and fall under its own mass; leaving us to again walk freely the path of consciousness and mindfulness that we experienced with our first infant breath.   tara brach helped with this.
