"...unawakened men and women all try to deny the suffering of life and pretend that it has nothing to do with them. Such denial is not only futile (because nobody is immune to pain and these facts of life will always break in) but also dangerous, because it imprisons people in a delusion that precludes spiritual development."
"...As long as we persist in closing our minds and hearts to the universal pain which surrounds us on all sides, we remain locked in an undeveloped version of ourselves, incapable of growth and spiritual insight." --Buddha by Karen Armstrong.
