Doesn't it always boil down to pain?

Francisco X. Stork
About This Quote

This quote by John Donne is one of the most commonly quoted in literature. It's so accurate that it's almost scary, but it's true. Pain is one of the most powerful forces in our world, and it always boils down to pain. Sometimes it's emotional, sometimes physical, sometimes both.

But, you can't escape pain—it will find you. So instead of trying to avoid pain, which is impossible anyway, try to understand what the reason is for the pain.
