Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Quotations
Suffering
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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 word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
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"
