About This Quote

The mind, at times, takes masochistic delight in suffering. The mind also knows the joys of pleasure and if the mind is allowed to indulge its desires then it can enjoy both. When people are in pain or feel pleasure they are actually experiencing the same thing. Pain is only an emotion that you experience when you hurt yourself.

Pleasure is physical and physical things give you pleasure. If you hurt yourself you feel pain. If you get a compliment or get something nice for your house or treat yourself, you feel pleasure.

People who are hard on themselves are actually feeding their own emotions. And if they are not careful, they will get hurt by this masochism.
