About This Quote

To live in pain, unnecessarily, is to be completely enslaved to it. It can be torture, or it can be a simple inconvenience that causes hurt feelings and hurtful words. The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain. To try to escape pain usually ends up making the experience worse. When we learn to live with pain or even appreciate it for what it is, we are free of its hold on us.
