“Isn't that the way of the world? We want the sweet things, but we need the unpleasant ones.”
“One of the sweet things about pain and sorrow is that they show us how well we are loved, how much kindness there is in the world, and how easily we can make others happy in the same way when they need help and sympathy.”
“We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.”
“Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.”
“The world tells us what we need to know when we are ready to know it and not before. That's the way of things.”
“Yes, but it is difficult to get what we need when it isn't what we truly want.”
