Trying to make those who don't understand understand create suffering.

• Thoughts on Buddha in [Sanyuttha Nikaya 6.1.1

Suppose Mr. A explains something to Mr. B and Mr. B fails to understand it.

• What Mr. A wants Mr. B to understand

  • This is greed.
    • [I want others to behave the way I want them to behave.
  • This greed creates suffering for Mr. A.
  • So Mr. A should avoid it.

• Desire to be understood

relevance - I don’t get angry when people don’t know about it. - Don’t ask those in front of you to understand. - I don’t care what I can’t control.
