WISDOM SHORTS - distractions, overspending (money), suffering

"Overdoing something is always coping mechanism that hides a pain. Aince the pain has been hidden for so long, it is hard to observe it. Therefore the cycle of suffering is instilled when one reaches a false conclusion: "beat" a distraction with another distraction. It is just like pills: they are painkillers, not problem solvers. If distraction kills awareness, so does it kill responsibility. Whoever dwells in this is suffering from ignorance. And that suffering is the only guide they'll have, since its purpose is to be guided out of the suffering of ignorance". - Miyumi Kurokami
