The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Quotations
Suffering
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
-Deep Trivedi
