Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

AMERICAN PROVERB


One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.

The wait is gone
The streets are filled
With a hollow song
Got a new death
It lurks outside
Follows me home

DANZIG

Life is ending today.
No more suffering.

ANONYMOUS

Tags: Anonymous quotes


It's the self that suffers, and there's a place where the self--ceases. I don't know how to say it. But I believe that the reality--the truth that I recognize in suffering as I don't in comfort and happiness--that the reality of pain is not pain. If you can get through it. If you can endure it all the way.
