If life is a journey then let my soul travel and share your pain.
-Santosh Kalwar
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.

Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 133"
If carefully seen, when shocked or hurt, if you are able to express your feelings,
you are relieved of it and the same when mistakenly suppressed; then that pain
in its perverted form becomes your destiny.
