See It – End It Film & Arts Festival is a two-day, community event featuring visual and performing arts, film, music and other entertainment, along with a host of community resource partners available to demonstrate how to take actionable steps to end this tragic crime. Prevention is the focus of See It – End It and interrupting the demand for prostituted children, and the vulnerable, in an age of internet grooming and recruitment occurring in homes, schools and public places is critical.
Exactly! We all suffer, and yet rarely do we address the issue directly. The one thing everyone does is rarely talked about. We talk about the external: events and peoples and conditions that create suffering, but hardly ever talk about the internal: the state of suffering itself. Bringing suffering out of the closet and into the light is what this book is all about.
Author William Arntz takes on the self-help world with his irreverent, poignant and insightful book on the topic, How to Suffer… in 10 Easy Steps, which drives so much of what we all do: Suffer. While self-help promises success, love and abundance in 5, 7 or 10 easy steps, it fails to deliver more often than not. Whereas the only thing that is easy to do is suffer. We all do it and we all don’t want to. It’s that easy. But by seeing how we easily fall into suffering, one can take steps to knock it off. Following the easy steps are the slippery steps to end suffering. Yes, we all fall into suffering, but there are ways to get out of the rut. Buddha kicked the suffering habit, why not us?
“As hilarious, irreverent and wise a book on how we make ourselves suffer as you’re ever going to read! Will Arntz, mastermind behind “What the Bleep Do We Know!?”, presents his own distinctive take on how humans undermine their own happiness while also offering a detailed prescription for how to stop doing so. Stop what you’re doing and get hold of How to Suffer immediately – it’s the ultimate get-out-of-your-own-jail card!”
– Lynne McTaggart, international bestselling author of The Field, The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight
