The Second Arrow: Why We Make Pain Worse (Buddha)

Описание: The same moment keeps replaying. Why did this happen? What did I do wrong?

Life throws the first arrow—loss, rejection, failure. You can't dodge it. But there's a second arrow: the endless "why me?", the self-blame that cuts deeper than the original wound. That one, you pick up yourself.

2,500 years ago, the Buddha called this the difference between pain and suffering. The first arrow is unavoidable. The second is a choice.

In this video, you'll learn why we keep picking up the second arrow—and how to finally set it down. The Buddha didn't say eliminate pain. He said stop shooting yourself. If you're tired of wounding yourself over and over, this one's for you.
