In the encounter with suffering, what actually occurs is not a simple choice among several possibilities, but movement within patterns that have settled over time in the body, the mind, and relationships. These patterns are not consciously selected. Each was once a response that worked, and it is precisely this effectiveness that stabilized it. Sufferin…

After passing through all these scales, the pattern returns to the place where it had been present from the beginning: the human being. Not as an individual separated from the world, but as the point where body, mind, relationship, and the shared lifeworld converge. The change of scale has added nothing to the logic. It has only expanded its field.

What has been observed so far may create the impression that the subsiding and re-pressurizing of suffering operate within the boundaries of the body, relationships, ideology, or war. Yet the pattern does not remain confined to these levels. At a broader scale the same logic reaches the shared lifeworld, where neither an individual nor a single society …

Beyond the level of everyday habits, the same pattern of subsiding and re-pressurizing operates through systems of meaning. Here we are no longer dealing with scattered individual reactions, but with narratives that from the beginning emerged with the promise of reducing suffering. The suffering of death, uncertainty, injustice, insecurity, and the inab…

A considerable part of the subsiding of suffering in everyday life occurs not in extreme situations, but in behaviors so ordinary and repetitive that they are no longer noticed. These behaviors do not begin with a clear decision, and they are rarely recognized as reactions to suffering. They are more like routes through which pressure passes.

In Mental Reality, especially in the chapter “Bitter and Sweet,” I approached the nature of suffering and its relation to pleasure from a neuroscientific and philosophical perspective. This text is not a continuation of that path, nor is it meant to redefine the same problem. What matters here is not suffering itself, but the way it is met in everyday l…

Preface

Ally Delshad Tehrani — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:21:14 GMT

Suffering is neither something that can be eliminated nor a condition that can necessarily be reduced. This text does not seek to enumerate its harms, nor to extract a benefit from it. Suffering is not to be reduced to a virtue or a vice, neither sanctified nor condemned. The issue is not even to solve something called suffering. What is pursued here is…
