I see these things as opinions.

I respect yours; but, I believe mine is more accurate.

Don't we ALL think our opinions are more accurate than someone else's? But isn't it interesting, and perhaps mind-expanding, to try to set aside one's onw opinions, just for a moment or two? ![]()

To suffer is a relative idea. I wouldn't mind the suffering your Mr. Green experiences. And, I'll bet I could get over it in about two minutes.

Maybe, maybe not. We all have illusions. We are all mistaken, in some way, about how we perceive things. Of course suffering is relative, but to the one suffering, relativity seems unimportant.
Personally, I wouldn't be Mr Green for anything in the world. I like my simple, unadored, less-is-more life. ![]()
peace and love,
