Strong will is essential to Buddhism, otherwise we are at the mercy of the machine part of being human: the judgments, feelings, attachments and habits. Original Buddhism seems to have taught the suppression of feelings, but today we rightly do not see this as healthy. Rather, we should satisfy our needs smartly and thereby create degrees of freedom for ourselves so that we suffer as little as possible from the machine aspect of our humanity. https://www.gabriel-ellis.com/ Photo by Wolfgang Hasselmann on Unsplash
