## Reflection (in the spirit of Ajahn Brahm's talk)

Told by a counsellor to do something sexy to attract his wife, a farmer is found dancing naked in front of his tractor. Groans all round. Then Ajahn Brahm turns serious: the pain is real, but complaining that it shouldn't happen only adds more. When suffering comes to someone you love, ask what you can do. It can become an act of care.
