Quotations
Suffering

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

If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
- Viktor Frankl

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
- Saint Augustine of Hippo

I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
- Colette

God creates us free, free to be selfish, but He adds a mechanism that will penetrate our selfishness and wake us up to the presence of others in this world, and that mechanism is called suffering.
- William Nicholson

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

The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Gustav Jung

It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
- Sherrilyn Kenyon

I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
- Mother Teresa

Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
