Why to take birth if its suffering.

Brahma Kumaris have explained it so well. Heaven is like living comfortably on 20th floor.  And earth is ground floor.  A kid watches it from above and sees people laughing, running, playing and even fight below.  Wants to go down to play. Parents tell him he might get hurt but he is getting bored.

Goes down. ..enjoys life for sometime but then starts seeing things at closer level and he also starts getting hurt.  He  wants to go back . But has to stay till evening.  When he goes back. His elders heal him. He takes rest.

 For few days doesnot want to go down.  Enjoys drama from above.  But then again he is attracted to something and wants to go down thinking that he will be more careful this time.  He forgets his earlier resolve not to go back.  As he is on descend he again is having change of mind but now he cannot go up again.  Process has to be completed.

I think Our desires n strong attachments
bring us back.  They are pushing us down.  No one else is doing it.

On top it may be good but activity, learning, enjoyments , suffering,  yin and yang...all is on earth.  May be most people do not like monotony above, from where you can see but cannot do anything at all.  When all the perfect, what is left to enjoy and for how long.

Its like giving birth one suffers labour pain but after some time again wants a baby.  Why??   To re-capture the joy felt earlier even if it means suffering again.

Its catch 22 situation...our joy becomes our source of suffering.
