Man has to "fight the battle of life" and struggle to keep even the friendship of those who may not be hostile to him, for fear of losing that friendship. All this is sorrow and unhappiness.
Scientists (biologists) have made wonderful discoveries. They tell us that the ants in an ant hill and the bees in a beehive are "one entity, the individual ants and the bees being cells of the one body". Maybe our soul is just a cell in a "larger" body. Maybe when the “lander on Mars" scans in the direction of the earth, he does not see it at all and decides it does not exist or at best sees it as a particle of dust which if magnified a million times resembles a rounded anthill with individual ants creeping over.
Perhaps the (earth) anthill is itself one cell of a cosmic being and "we" are merely infinitesimal parts of the self, inseparably bound together. And, perhaps it is our puerile attempt to create a separation from one another that causes the "space-of-sorrow" around us. Daily and hourly we are filling the space with our cravings, hate, greed, aggression and violence, not realizing that we are the only victims of our own viciousness.
