Acharya Prashant explains that suffering is always a choice born out of delusion. He notes that everyone who suffers has reasons to justify their state, whether they call it love, compassion, wisdom, or responsibility. However, these reasons are often excuses to avoid admitting that sorrow is one's own doing. He points out that much of human suffering results from misguided efforts toward goodness, such as trying to be nice or helping others without self-examination. He emphasizes that simply changing direction—moving from what one defines as 'good' to 'bad'—does not solve the problem if the internal condition of the individual remains unchanged. Using the analogy of a drunkard, he illustrates that stumbling to the right instead of the left does not change the fact that the person is still stumbling. He concludes that when one finds themselves repeatedly hurt and bruised by life, the solution is not to change external directions but to examine one's fundamental internal condition.
