“Humanity does not suffer from the disease of wrong beliefs but humanity suffers from the contagious nature of the lack of belief.

“Every unpleasant worldly experience in life exposes our sensitive nervous systems to painful phenomena. Despite all the beer commercial advertisement slogans urging us to live with gusto, life is unavoidably painful. Life is a battering ram that inflicts trauma upon human beings.

“People often ask: If there’s a God, how can He allow so much suffering in the world? Realize all world suffering you perceive is a mirror to your own psychological self-abuse, gender imbalance, prejudice, poverty, and hunger.

“Few people can be happy," says a famous philosopher, "unless they hate some other person, nation or creed." "Creed" refers to what people believe, and I believe that everyone in the world should feel as welcome and safe as I did in that library. But of course that is not how the story goes. People are unwelcome and unsafe all over the world, and it is other people who make them feel that way. We all do. We are miserable at home, or at school, scared when we walk the streets, and we are terrorized in all sorts of places, ghastly and desperate, all over the globe. Not all suffering is the same, and we are not all suffering at the same time, but every person or nation or creed as had their turn, or is waiting their turn to suffer to to force suffering on us, sometimes so terribly that for some of us, at some moment somewhere in the world, the only escape is into the world of the imagination, because we cannot really imagine what is happening and what we have done.”
― Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

“There’s enough pain and suffering in this world, without us volunteering to unnecessarily endure more.

How we approach suffering and how we choose to endure it from this moment on is entirely up to us.”
― Renée Paule, Stepping Out of Time

“Trpljenje patnikâ nije ništa veliko ni uzvišeno; u svome korijenu ono je sve drugo samo ne solidarno trpljenje, ono nije naprosto znak ljubavi, nego je daleko više naznaka za to da se više ne može ljubiti.”
― Johann Baptist Metz, Memoria passionis: Ein provozierendes Gedächtnis in pluralistischer Gesellschaft

“Everyone suffers from something. It’s just a matter of how great the suffering is and how tolerant and enduring is the person’s soul for any amount of suffering. For some, even a trivial blow or minuscule loss might mean the sky crumbling on their heads. On the other hand, you will see some uniquely hardy humans, who face bludgeoning for breakfast, get sautéed in searing heat all day and spend their nights fighting to get some sleep on a prickly cold ice bed, yet they carry a demeanour of - just an ordinary day in my life”
