Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Quotations
Suffering
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
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"
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
