“The Suffering of Life” from the Perspective of Spiritism
Where Does the Suffering of Life Come From?
Consequences of Being Stagnant or Stabilized
There is such a feedback system that, as you try to stop, it pushes you, and as you become static, it pushes you towards dynamism.
In line with this system, as you do not move forward, as you try to become stagnant, as you try to stabilize, you start to be pushed from behind.
This is where the suffering of life comes from.
The reason we suffer is that we cannot obtain our selfish desires.
Happiness for people is obtaining their desires or the realization of selfish desires.
When they cannot achieve this, they fall under great tension.
They think they are wronged and that a tiny bit of happiness is prevented from them by others.
People who always desire to take, who have always been accustomed to taking, show typical egoistic reactions such as resentment, grudges, etc., when they cannot get what they want.
In other words, they stand still and do not move.
Most disasters happen because people who stand still need to be put into action.

Excerpt from the book Devre Sonu/End of Cycle; RM Pub.
One never tires of praying for good. And if touched by evil, they become desperate and hopeless.
Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without God testing those of you who fought hard (In His Cause) and remained steadfast?
We will certainly test you until We prove those of you who truly struggle in God’s cause and remain steadfast, and reveal how you conduct yourselves.
- Fussilat-49, Ali ‘Imran-142, Muhammad-31
