After reading a Zen koan about suffering

1

There might not be a reason for suffering,

but there is always a cause

and if we can't have effect on it,

if we can't end it,

then least we can try to ease the suffering.

2

We don't need to

understand what causes suffering

all we need is to know

how to ease it.

Compassion is the key.
