There is a great relief in experiencing the worst vicariously.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Next to ingratitude the most painful thing to bear is gratitude.
So I had the worst experience at the very beginning, and things have been getting better since.
Suffering is a kind of ecstasy in a way. Having pain all the time makes me terribly, terribly grateful for every moment I've got.
All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise.
We're all looking for those moments - a relief. That's why people go out and treat themselves.
The reward of suffering is experience.
It was such a relief. I lived in fear of being found out. Now it's given me a whole new mission in life.
The rare pleasure of being seen for what one is, compensates for the misery of being it.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.
