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
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
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.

...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
