The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Quotations
Suffering
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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
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
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
