Pain and joy are like light and darkness; they are two sides of the same medal. They are interdependent and inseparably connected to each other.
-Trinley Thaye Dorje "Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje"
Pain and joy are like light and darkness; they are two sides of the same medal. They are interdependent and inseparably connected to each other.
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.

"Kushiel's Chosen"
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.
-Deep Trivedi
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.
-Charlie Chaplin
There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering.
- John O'donohue
