Can any one of us achieve enlightenment? Of course we can, but to become enlightened one has to suffer… And don’t get me wrong please. While most of us would love to be amidst of other enlightened individuals – non of us would like to do the suffering to become one. Examples of enlightened people would be Buddha, and Jesus Christ to name a few here, and we all know that they did suffer.

My problem with suffering derives from the believe that we should be perfect the way we are. “Who claimed this?,” you might ask. Well, the same enlightened teachers of us human beings claim that we are perfect. Yet at the same time, they have become enlightened because of their own suffering. And, than – how can we be perfect yet not enlightened? And do we need to be enlightened? And if so, for what, and for who’s sake? Would love to hear your opinions in regards, so go ahead and let me know…
