You reach a point where the pain gets so acute you do not feel it anymore, but to reach that point, you experience so much pain that you're unable to forget the suffering that led you there.

About This Quote

You reach a point with your suffering that you no longer feel it. You reach a point when the suffering becomes so great that you no longer feel it. You experience so much pain that you are unable to forget the suffering that led you there. For every good thing that happens, there is also something bad that comes along with it.

So how does one cope? How does one get through the suffering? The answer is simple: One copes by not getting through. Life is suffering. Pain is an inevitable part of life.

The only way to get through life is to become so incapable of feeling pain that what little pain there is barely effects us. That's what makes life so hard.
