Suffering
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.

-Mother Teresa
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
