Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between pain and suffering. It suggests that while pain is an unavoidable part of life, suffering is a product of how we choose to perceive and react to that pain. In other words, pain can be seen as a physical or emotional discomfort, but suffering is the internal struggle and distress we add to that experience through our thoughts, emotions, or actions. By understanding this difference, we can work towards minimizing our suffering and finding peace even in the face of pain.

He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high.

Fats was starting to think that if you flipped every bit of received wisdom on its head you would have the truth. He wanted to journey through dark labyrinths and wrestle with the strangeness that lurked within; he wanted to crack open piety and expose hypocrisy; he wanted to break taboos and squeeze wisdom from their bloody hearts; he wanted to achieve a state of amoral grace, and be baptised backwards into ignorance and simplicity.
