Suffering is inevitable. Suffering is universal. But everyone has their own reaction to suffering.

Suffering is inevitable. Suffering is universal. But everyone has their own reaction to suffering.

Time does not heal. We can handle it ourselves, in time. The recovery will come when we decide to take responsibility, when we accept risks and finally allow ourselves to get rid of mental pain, that is, to free ourselves from grief and let go of the past. And all this is a matter of our choice.

We can choose what horror teaches us. to be embittered by sorrow and fear. hostile. numb. Or to hold on to something childish in us, alive and inquisitive, in that part of us that is innocent. We have a choice: to pay attention to what we lost or what we have.
