Why are most people suffering nowadays, and is this suffering justified? In early human history, suffering was limited to survival—food, shelter, clothing. As humanity evolved, suffering became invisible and delusional, shaped by social pressure and expectations from others and ourselves. These unseen burdens weigh us down and are passed to future generations. When expectations surpass human limitations, an enlightened being comes into the world to free humanity from them. Yet the suffering does not end; people continue to find new ways to suffer.
A child is born free of societal trauma, responding only to nature and expressing what they truly feel. Wealth, status, or possessions mean nothing to them; what a pure way to live. But as they grow, they are trained like machines, burdened with confusion and needless suffering. What we imprint on a child’s mind is never forgotten; if we allow them to suffer, that pain stays for life.
We call humans the most intelligent beings, yet intelligence should not mean constant suffering. We feel happy when life meets our expectations and worthless when it does not, worrying endlessly about judgment, what people will say or think. But who are these people judging us? Are they truly responsible, and are they genuinely happy in their own lives?
Our only true responsibility is to ensure that we cause no harm to people, society, animals, nature, or any living being. Each of us has a unique life and journey, and how we live it should be our choice, not others’. We are gifts of the universe, and if the creator accepts us as we are, who is anyone else to judge our existence?
Why are we trained like machines, expected to live the same lives as others? Why can’t we choose to be different? Every moment is shaped by how we feel and perceive it. Each person walks a unique path with lessons meant for them, yet many remain trapped in delusion, living lives that are not truly their own.
Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest gifts. Parents shape the world through the children they raise, but are we nurturing compassion? Too often, we teach children to live only for themselves, breeding selfishness and repeating the same cycle across generations. If this is how we use the power given by the creator, what is its true purpose?
Constant comparison is a man-made source of suffering.. If someone has a stable income, is married, and has children, society labels them as “successful,” even if they fight every day and live without happiness. Yet this false image of success is still celebrated. Why?
Yogic traditions teach that life is about self-discovery and inner freedom. Questions like Who am I? Why am I here? These are essential for everyone, yet many ask themselves only in suffering, often blaming the creator. Still, the message remains unchanged: freedom is possible. Many simply do not choose it, staying trapped in the lives they were trained to live.
So who is truly responsible—humans, or the creator who does not control our choices?
Let us end generational trauma here. Allow children to grow with nature, not under the weight of expectations. Let them become themselves—not copies of us. Teach them what truly matters: not skin colour, status, money, or power, but kindness, humanity, and gratitude toward all life. Free them from comparison and guide them toward responsibility for society as a whole.
Suffering may not disappear, but we can change, and through us, the next generation can change. Do not raise children to build your legacy; raise them to be joyful and compassionate. That joy begins when we heal our own trauma and choose what is truly right, not what society blindly accepts. Step out of the rat race. Be unique, and help others do the same. Let love be boundless.
What we give is within our control; what we receive is not. Choose to give, and you will find true happiness. One day, we will leave this world carrying only the story of our actions. Let us live in a way that makes the creator proud and builds a better world for every child who comes after us. Children are the future, and they hold the power to end this cycle of suffering. The question is, will we choose to change?
