So is there a stage past that, where one sees more, and is okay again?
The Dalai Lama comes from a school of Buddhism that focuses on understanding what suffering is and being committed to relieving suffering in others. For me the latter is what makes knowledge of suffering bearable.
And yes, this school of thought also focuses on the suffering that ideas can cause. (Although there are other kinds of suffering too.)
If you ever want to go with me to check out the Shambhala center in Mountain View, let me know. They offer meditation instruction on Sunday mornings. I haven't been, but I keep thinking I ought.
