Susan MeissnerShut your eyes to the world of pain, and you also shut your eyes to the world of delight.
About This Quote
The world of pain and the world of delight are two sides of the same coin. When you shut your eyes to one, you are closing your eyes to the other. Rather than turning away from the world, it is better to walk in its midst. You see more when you look around.
You see more when you look at beauty as well as at ugliness. You see more when you try to understand what people are like and why they act the way they do.
