Suffering is normal. Pain is normal, it is part of life... What is its texture, the weight of our suffering? What is its meaning? Begin by touching it, by coming close to it, accepting it: Hello, suffering, I am here with you. I am beside you, one with you, I am you. I am suffering. A.M. Homes
About This Quote

This quote by French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre sums up the meaning of suffering. It implies that the point of living means accepting the pain that comes with it. It also says that you will have to accept your losses, your sadness, and your anger. You must learn to live with all these feelings because they are part of life.
