I wasn't "getting almost into Buddhism " but expressing a fundamental Buddhist (and Hindu) belief; that attachment causes suffering.

Grief isn't selfish? What is it then? Unselfish? What is it you mourn? NOT your loss? Be interested in an alternative rational explanation.

Nor do I accept that suffering enobles or that we necessarily learn anything positive from suffering.The most important lesson I've learned from suffering is to avoid it whenever I can.

So far my fear of dying has outweighed any suffering I've experienced,albeit not by much a couple of times.Should the situation change,I will leave.

Kyu I'm not suggesting for second that you should agree with my perception. I ask only that you disagree with civility.It was not my intention to offend you.
