The suffering and joy of life is the product of our thought. Whether it is an affluent society, developing society or under poverty society, the seed of suffering is everywhere. Along with the seed of the suffering, the seed of joy and happiness is also there. By default, the seed of suffering is sown, because our untrained and casual mind is prone to negativity.
We need to choose the seed according to the fruit we need. Both, the seed of suffering and joy are present before us. We have to decide what the seed we choose. Whether it is the seed of joy or suffering, the same effort, energy and time are required to nourish that seed, but the result is always different. The seed becomes a plant and then a tree.
It is difficult to uproot a strongly rooted tree. What the tree you have planted, you have to spend your life in that shadow only, whether it is the shadow of suffering or the shadow of joy. Even though you understand that you are under the shadow of suffering, it will be difficult for you to uproot the deeply rooted tree of the suffering.
However, it is always easy to choose the seed before sowing it through discernment and intelligence. The quality of the tree and fruit depend on upon the quality of the seed. The tree of your life depends on the selection of the seed of thought. No matter, where you are, you will create a tree of suffering if you fail to choose the seed wisely. Therefore, choose the seed of thought very carefully and wisely.
