Whatever we can't love or accept in another, is a mirror of something we can't love or accept in ourselves.
Brenda ShoshannaThe facts of our lives, when we are able to know them, will free us from the torment we are in. When we can bear reality thoroughly, suffering is over. Pain may exist, but it is only pain. Suffering is what we add to pain.
