There's an obvious lesson in these words for all of us.
It's inevitable that we will hurt throughout our lives. Fact.
By keeping this thought that 'suffering is optional' in our minds,
then perhaps we can begin to accept pain...maybe even expect pain.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bring ourselves to take our 'pain' with a pinch of salt and just get on with life rather than to sit around thinking about how bad we hurt?
I'll be the first one to admit it's easier said than done!
