About This Quote
The question is: do you want suffering or do you want peace? It's that simple. People who suffer from depression and other psychological disorders often feel trapped and helpless. The idea of suffering and peace is something that they may never be able to achieve. They will always feel as though they are in a corner and that no matter what they do, life will only bring them more suffering.
That is not true, though. They can rise above their suffering and find peace if they give up on their brief moment of happiness. The only way they can find peace is by giving up on happiness.
It’s that simple.
