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
Quotations
Suffering
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
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
The reward of suffering is experience.
-Harry S. Truman
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
