How to Suffer Less
This article discusses a philosophical approach to reducing suffering by practicing awakening, compassion, and liberation. Awakening involves realizing the non-essential nature of the self, leading to a sense of universal compassion. Liberation comes from breaking free from habitual behaviors that disconnect individuals from the present moment. The author suggests surrounding oneself with supportive 'wholesome friends' and practicing meditation as key methods for achieving these states and ultimately abating suffering. AI
