#Suffering

A story about pain, and the difference between what actually happened to you and what you did to yourself about it afterwards.

The ancient diagnosis the modern world keeps trying to forget: unchecked wanting is the root of most of our pain.

Pain is not a sign that something has gone wrong with your life. It is the price of being alive, and there is a way to carry it.

Comfort cannot produce certain qualities. There is a kind of strength that only hardship leaves behind in the people who survive it well.
