The Fullness of Life

There is salvation in suffering.
It is as if suffering is the fire that burns away the one who suffers. It makes the ego submit.
I am saying this from direct experience of the fact.
There is a cleansing after suffering. There is a return to the essence of what is valuable in life.
This realization may transform my life, or if not experienced completely, the realization will fade and another round of suffering will come and the pattern will continue.
I am aware that death cleanses.
The ego wants immortality, eternal youth, and pleasure.
The ego is also the one who suffers.
The ego cannot refute the inevitability of death and so lives in a state of denial, resistance and escaping.
For the ego to accept death is the end of the ego.
The end of the ego is the end of the one who suffers.
There is peace when the ego is not.
There is fullness of life when the ego is not.
Death is integral for life.
