Quote by Robert Lynd
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
Summary
This quote suggests that there is a certain greatness or glory in being able to detach oneself from personal pain or suffering. However, it also implies that this indifference should be limited only to one's own suffering, suggesting that indifference towards the suffering of others is not admirable or desirable. It implies that focusing solely on one's own suffering and neglecting the suffering of others contradicts the idea of compassion and empathy, as it promotes a self-centered approach to life.
