Pain is what the world inflicts upon us. Suffering is our emotional reaction when we fail to make the difficult conscious choice to choose Joy.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

Even pain has its joy.

The most painful goodbye's are those which were never said and never explained.

Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.
