Watching "Desert Flower": Suffering so much, it must be for something worthwhile

Wallis's mother has been suffering in Somalia, the desert living environment is harsh, squeezed into the patriarchal society, her mother once prevented her from marrying Wallis's father, but she resolutely insisted on her own idea, in that barren and barren land, life is prosperous, her suffering may be for something worthwhile. Maybe it's love, maybe something else...

Many years later, 12-year-old Wallis, she chose to break free from the shackles of male power, ran outside the desert, on the way, at any time into the lion's mouth, feet blurred with flesh and blood, with grass and branches to fill the hunger, almost raped, so long journey, alone in the distance. All this suffering is also for something worthwhile.

Everything has both cause and effect, suffering differently, having different knots. The suffering of life, old age, illness and death, the suffering of sorrow and joy... Because suffering is life. There are five levels of suffering.

One, the suffering of the body. Some people have moved all their lives, some have moved into contract foremen, some have moved into real estate bosses.

Second, the bitterness of thinking. I have seen a post earlier, many old people are lamenting that young people now can't stand it. Times are different, and suffering is not the same. In the past, material scarcity, everyone was doing physical labor, suffering a lot from the body, but in the new era, material abundance, everyone used more brain work, and endured more is the pain of thinking, mental pressure. In the same work, some people are working step by step, some people are reflecting in their work, promoting in practice, and generating suggestions for improvement.

Third, the suffering of dignity. Maybe you are very good, you can eat the pain of the body, and you can also bear the pain of thinking, but you have a glass heart, and the slightest grievance hurts your dignity. What is dignity? Dignity is not that others can't hurt you, but that you are so strong that others can't hurt you. Dignity is the return of the king after all the grievances. The "crotch humiliation" that Han Xin endured was very defiled, and in the end he successfully defended his dignity.

Fourth, the suffering of self-discipline. Looking around, all those who have achieved success, they all have a self-disciplined life. Be able to restrain their desires and inertia. Can stick to their own plans, can resist the temptation of the outside world.

Fifth, the bitterness of loneliness. People live to a certain stage, especially those who are top successful, they are not so social, not because they are not social, but because their vision and thinking are difficult for ordinary people to reach, and insisting on self is a difficult thing, but also a very lonely thing.

All the roads you take, there will be traces.

All the suffering you have suffered, there will be a return.

The level of suffering a person determines the height of his life.

If you can eat the pain of physical strength, the pain of thinking, the pain of dignity, the pain of self-discipline, the pain of loneliness, then you will not be too ordinary.

What kind of suffering are you suffering at the moment, at what level, for what is worthwhile?
