Life is suffering, but it is up to you if you mind it or not

Do you see this cut?

How I feel about it depends on me. Maybe it's painful but also maybe I think it is decorative. In that case maybe I don't mind that it hurts.

Just the same applies to everything in this world. The universe does not have an assigned feeling. You assigned it yourself and you can change your perspective with a single thought.

You don't have to mind it unless you want to. It is hard to change your perspective about pain when it hurts enough but you can if you practice every single day every single time you feel an unpleasant feeling. You stub your toe. You have a car accident. Someone dies. You yourself are dying, etc etc. You can become exceedingly good at changing your perspective on things which come with no perspective or association besides those you assigned to it (which is everything). You just have to practice enough.

Stop and examine the negative feelings and see them as an observer and ask if that observer is also in pain.

So that's why I don't need God in my life. I mean I am not saying I don't believe in God or do but I am just saying it isn't necessary for me to be happy if I follow my path of practicing changing my perspective every single day I experience unpleasantness.

This is a hard path to walk in life, especially when times are hard. It's easier to lie to yourself and believe in angels, heaven, and talking snakes. But this path is based on real human existence and not fairy tales some goat herder wrote on some leaves.
