About This Quote

The quote says that the only way to avoid pain and suffering is to not feel and allow emotions to destroy you. The opposite of this is the mind healer who will keep emotions locked up inside because they are too painful. This is what can happen when we try to avoid pain and suffering by suppressing our emotions. The quote suggests that we should feel our emotions and learn their purpose so we can overcome them.
