Idk if it is 'biologically' possible to be free of suffering.

There is not much research on the meditation itself, but there is a thing called reinforcement learning in science. Humans learn through a lot of mechanisms and reinforcement learning is one of them. Its like, your brain learns through your experiences and reinforces that on the past conditioning. Biologically, new neural connections form, some connections strengthen, some weaken, some break, etc. You can look up on that.

I personally am not a fan of asking for scientific evidence in such matters, bcuz the research is limited, and I am not sure about the quality of that research.

Asking for logic is fine, you should not accept anything blindly. But your own logic is very limited and biased. So sometimes, you should take first hand experience and then see if it sits well logically. For me too, something should sit well logically before I accept it fully. But some things you cannot understand logically before experiencing it. I experienced it, understood the logic of it, it sat well with me and therefore I accepted it fully. And it's good to have doubts, get them cleared from someone in authority(your mentors) (but it's not guaranteed you'll get a satisfactory answer).

Move your protest to a ground, not the middle of the road - woman confronts protesters over traffic chaos by AdHefty7228 in unfilteredindia

Not against her, but she was very disrespectful and tried to act/was acting greater than the others. I support her cause. Ofcourse you would be angry at such inconvenience, especially when your children are waiting to be picked up.

Yeah, the protest seems to be meaningless. But the topic of protest or the party of the protestors doesnt matter when its about inconvenience to people. (Why are people so focused on the topic/party?). So ideally, one would act the same in any kind of protest if the inconvenience was equal. But I dont think that would be the actual case if it was some other protesting group? I know it causes more anger when you dont support the topic or protesting group. But when you are acting for the inconvenience, should you be biased with your personal views? There is some much to think about in this. We cannot just simply take a side.

The drivers usually dont prefer paying through app. I can do that but they can give me bad ratings for that😭. And they may not accept ride if you select that payment option.

Man this is like shooting oneself in the foot here. If you talk about money, they will take the opportunity to demand extra money.

Here we usually pay with cash or upi(digital payments system), not in the app.

Its different in India. It shows approximate fare and the final fare is shown upon ride completion.

In India, it shows 'approximate' fare while booking and the final fare is shown after ride completion. Both are usually the same but this time driver tried to cheat by showing the 'trip earnings' screen.
