Pain is what the world does to you,
suffering is what you do to yourself.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Suffering is not getting what we want.
Suffering is getting what we do not want.
Suffering is when things are different
from the way we want them to be.
Some versions of the Path begin with the statement that,
Life is suffering.
Life is not all suffering.
Life can be very joyful when we let go of selfish craving.
