Life is suffering. The key is finding what causes the suffering and then moving past it, either by changing our behavior or by accepting the things that we can't change.
is what you make it. It can be painful, learning about yourself often is. It can also be joy, laughter, love and peace. It's finding the balance in yourself.
But if you go through life thinking it's pain, chances are....that's exactly what you'll have.
