In The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,
Sogyal Rinpoche writes, unconvincingly,
to my left-brain dominant ears,

“No suffering,
however dreadful
[and even mortal],
is
or can be
meaningless
if it is dedicated
to the alleviation
of the suffering of others.”

This intelligent act of “dedication”
sounds suspiciously left-brain dominant
to me,
Looks like rationalization,
Feels like fake fixing
Sublimating sensory desires
and denials
that would merely replace
one disconnected set of neurosensory trauma
with Other’s trauma

By empathic mind over matter sustained willpower,
rather than ego’s power-with
peaceful sentience.

.As if left-brain consciousness
could control environmental flow
of sentient feelings,
the fluid elixirs of empathic connecting
yet autonomous presence.

Anyway
[kinda got lost in the analogy
which is more of a right-brain metaphoric
metaphysical
polypathically polyamorous
polyphonic search for resonant connections,
reconnections,
preconnections,
disconnections],
I can imagine:

No suffering,
loss,
humiliation,
excommunication,
impeaching death
of an organic left-brain dominant AnthroIntelligence,
however dread-filled,
is,
or can become,
meaningless

All positives and negative experiences
are connected,
and memory reconnected
and imagined preconnected
to empower/disempower elder brain stem’s
pleasure/pain sentience
and thereby enlightening prefrontal cortex’s
compassion/dispassion consciousness
