Does The Mind Suffer? Comments

Sometimes I wonder and sometimes I wonder NOT! I can sometimes perceive an issue as either half-empty or glass-full! Its this very nature of myself, that invites the question: are we always alive to our thoughts and actions or are we dead to our thoughts? That's the easy part. But either way, I am looking for answers. The answers I suppose might come from an examination of ethics or society, but the answers might already be in our DNA! I am intrigued by how we reason and how we build reason. How we form thoughts and how we create thoughts. How we destroy reason and how we exterminate doubt. Doubt is very important in this whole idea! I am also intrigued by how we curate ideas, but on top of all that, I am intrigued by how we use thoughts, perhaps, as guiding system to build impenetrable minds. A mind that is isolated from suffering? I am curious about the deep state of connectedness between what we believe to be true as a marked representation of how we live and interact in our daily lives versus what we believe is also true, but, as a representation of how we function in a society... two distinct possibilities in a long line of possibilities!

I am curious about the idea of a "just" life as not only guided by our interpretations of humanly conduct, but also serving the function as "the engine of survival". Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but in this "just" state, the mind has attained it purest form and is not changing even though it is still traveling through time and at any time still represents reason, conduct, thoughts and actions. Is this the duality of reason? Is the mind enriched over time through aggregate reasoning, or by a value system that is self-rewarding? Or self resonating? The gifts that keeps on giving! Is it possible for reason to self-isolate the mind? Can the mind suffer as a consequence? Or is the idea of suffer defeated because we can engineer always happiness? Is this true?
