Master Woo Myung’s Message – Poems to Awaken – Agony
Agony is
the product of human life.
It is when man tries to achieve something then fails
that this becomes his agony.
Agony is
the output of man’s unfulfilled greed.
The countless experiences of man’s life
are his agonies and joys,
but they are mere emotions that he has.
Stemming from his karma and habits,
emotions are the experiences he has come to have
of his own accord.
When seen from outside the forest,
one will be able to see that
no one else but himself has agonies;
that one’s thoughts create one’s agonies.
-Woo Myung-
