About This Quote

The struggle against anguish is never ending. It is a never ending battle that never ends. The moment that you begin to feel relaxed and at peace with the world, the battle continues. And as you continue to fight, you will always feel as if you are losing and will never find peace.

The only way to find serenity is by giving up your struggle and simply letting go of the pain. If you keep fighting, you will always feel like you are falling and will never reach a point where you finally feel at peace with the world.
