Suffering does not stop until we get to the Truth

A patient has fever, headache, fatigue, indigestion, and some other symptoms. Doctor starts treating them one after the other. Will the patient's suffering stop? It won't, until the doctor discovers the ultimate truth that is causing all these symptoms and addresses it. It could be cancer or it could be something else. Same goes for everything else. Suffering of the world will not stop until the ultimate truth is known. World becomes a better place as more and more truths are discovered and inventions are developed based on these truths. But the suffering still does not stop until the ultimate truth is discovered and addressed.

While, this being the case, imagine the foolishness of people who live in falsehood, let alone discover new truths. No one can save them from suffering. They will continue to move from one disaster to another, avoiding one at a time, by cheating, lying, working around the problem. It is never a good idea to associate with such people either, because they will need and rope-in whomever they can to support them to live in the virtual life of lies and deception.

Suffering indeed does not stop until we get to the Truth. - Vishnu Pendyala
