Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
It isn't easy to accept that suffering can also be beautiful... it's difficult. It's something you can only understand if you dig deeply into yourself.
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.
Suffering is part of the divine idea.
Suffering is traumatic and awful and we get angry and we shake our fists at the heavens and we vent and rage and weep. But in the process we discover a new tomorrow, one we never would have imagined otherwise.
Suffering is the substance of life and the root of personality, for it is only suffering that makes us persons.
Suffering is the positive element in this world, indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
I think we have a creative impulse where suffering can magnify our work, but so can joy. You can be in love and write the greatest love song ever. Sometimes I think too much suffering makes it difficult to do one's work.
All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
