This Too Shall Pass

The worst kind of suffering is the one you know there might be a way out of.

If there’s no way out of it, it becomes easier to bear.

~ Alan Watts

Finality...?

“The past is a place of reference,
not a place of residence;
the past is a place of learning,
not a place of living.”

― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Try not to Grease your 'Emotional Slope'

When going through a hard time,
try to imagine your future, happier self,
sending you back a message saying
“please keep going,
I promise you you’ll get through this
and life will be better again”.

#StayHomeSaveLives

Many of us fear boredom – even the faintest whiff of boredom sends us scurrying right back to the game.

Arthur Schopenhauer said that willing itself is never fulfilled - as soon as one wish is satisfied, another appears. Though there may be some very brief respite, some fleeting period of satiation, it is immediately transformed into boredom.

Every human life is tossed backward and forward between pain and boredom.
