Seeking and Suffering: III, available on Xbox

It might sound utterly depressing, but humans will probably suffer most of their life. Or most of the human race will. Unless we don’t come face-to-face with the conclusion that suffering will be a part of all life, we live in a soap bubble whose alkali we have manufactured. When the bubble pops, chaos. In this space we will see a plethora of people. Most of them have been there for a long, long time, and some of them will search for alkali to build the bubble again. There will be those not born in a bubble at all and then, some who walk around with a needle. The size of the needle varies, depending upon how many bubbles they will pop, and whether the needle penetrates deep. Some bleed but don’t know they possess and use a needle in the first place. Stay away from these people, some of them smile. When we walk around, it becomes louder and the scene becomes scarier. Everyone is crying. Everyone is in pain. There’s Radiohead playing on Main Street and we will find a new set of people, besides the criers and the pokers. These people will fetishize being out of the bubble and say suffering is beautiful. We, however, will choose to keep walking while we see pills and alcohol and strippers. Amidst all this, we find a compass and it will hopefully tell us where to go. On the compass, we find pictures of god-men and religious texts and Tony Robbins. We may choose to follow where the compass takes us but things get tougher before they get easier. Finding ourselves not in the same chaotic place anymore, but near a river and grass with smells of flowers, we notice that there are much fewer people now and all have compasses. The frowns have reduced but are still there, though. We do not want frowns, we are different. We are looking for something greater and we will persevere until we find out what that is. There are snowy mountains and Kanchenjunga. Guided by that intrigue and some mountain gear, we arrive at light.

Finally, we arrive at the abyss of acceptance.

It looks outer space-like, and it keeps going on and on. It is like another universe in itself. It seems wonderful- we can’t wait to jump!

When we do, everything goes away. We feel free. And we now swim in air, knowing that profound truth is close. There are some people swimming as well.
