About This Quote

There are times in your life when you experience pain and discomfort. Pain is a part of life and we all must learn to endure and cope with it. However, in order to do so and to move forward and see the light at the end of the tunnel, we must always try to make friends with our pain. We must strive to understand our pain and learn how to deal with it wisely. If we can do this, we will never be alone.
