Who is responsible for our suffering?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Your suffering is self-created; it is your resistance to what is that causes pain. Surrender to the present moment, and even pain can become the labor pains of your spiritual rebirth."

We mostly hurt because we fight what’s happening; if we accept it, the pain softens and helps us grow.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces needless suffering by shifting from resistance to acceptance.
- Turns challenges into opportunities for inner growth and calm.
- Stops blame and empowers choosing surrender and clarity now.
