When does suffering come easy?

The idea of suffering being easy is probably not something you’re used to thinking about but yet it’s true for so many.

You see, suffering can sometimes be easy because change is hard.

So many suffer in poor health, bad relationships, spiritual emptiness and so many other areas of life because it’s easier than doing the work required to create change in their lives.

Suffering can be easier because there are endless external factors than can be blamed for the suffering. If the decision is made to change then the responsibility shifts from things that can’t be controlled to things that can, and this can be a huge burden.

If there’s something you’re suffering through just because it’s become easier to do so, then perhaps now’s a good time to re-evaluate.

The idea of change might seem daunting at first but you don’t have to go all in at once, you can ease in to it at your own pace. And if you decide at some point that you don’t like the change then you can always go back to the ease of suffering.
