CURE - Sticker on the floor of Melbourne Central station.
As I walked out of the train this morning I saw sticker pasted on the floor with slogan “CURE” on it. It struck a chord with me. Isn’t this what everyone is looking for; a cure?
I also brought back memories of the rock band of the same name. From memory they always wore black and seem to have a ‘gothic’ touch to them. All the gothic bands seem to me to be one step closer to reality (the way things really are) than the other bands out there, which probably explains their success and also being perceived as putting out a ‘deeper’ message than the others. They are one step closer to reality in the sense that their lives, outlook, ideas and even the way the dress, seem to be steeped in dukkha (suffering/stress/unsatisfactoriness). However they seem to be very much attached to their dukkha and even seem to identify with it, rather than trying to find a way out of it.
Fortunately for those in the know (namely Buddhists 
) are aware of the real cure for dukkha, as shown by the Lord Buddha more than 2550 years ago, namely the Noble Eightfold Path.
