Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that experiencing pain is an inevitable part of life, but suffering is a personal choice. While pain might be a natural result of various circumstances or events, the extent to which it affects us mentally and emotionally depends on our perspective and response. It suggests that we have the power to choose how we interpret and deal with pain, and that suffering arises from holding onto negative thoughts, resisting acceptance, or allowing pain to control our lives. By acknowledging pain and adopting a resilient mindset, we can minimize suffering and find ways to navigate adversity.
