Isn't suffering God's way of forcing you to be less selfish?

[thenondualtankie]

To act selfishly causes suffering. It is ultimately this suffering that leads to selflessness. How is this not God forcing us into being selfless?

@thenondualtankie I agree, life is essentially God 101 training, it gets more and more beautiful as you realize that you've wanted to be selfless in the first place and didn't even know it

Nothing is forcing anything...

It can seem that way, but there is many cases where it does the exact opposite.

There is just infinite freedom, so much so that the concept of freedom collapses on itself.

You assumes God knows suffering. You could say this is the egos view and the justification(s) of it. 

Take note the emotional guidance within you, is prior to & transcendent to whatever you put in front of you.
