What’s one thing you know now that would have saved your younger self a lot of pain?
I embraced the Buddha’s First Noble Truth when I was about 14. Unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention to the other 3, or anything else from the Dhamma.
Right thinking, Right Mindfulness, Right Speech and Action, etc. would have been a much less painful path than trying to numb the suffering with opioids and addiction.
Incomplete insight caused me so much pain. But at least I’m not running away anymore.
