Pain

"Loneliness is more painful than being hurt"

"I doubt even you can begin to understand the depths of her."

"Fighting makes us feel alive, until it kills us. If it doesn’t kill us, the pain of sitting alone with ourselves, quietly, under constant assault by our own thoughts and memories of war can easily be enough to make us wish we’d died in battle instead."

"Suffering does not only insulate. It drops its victim in an ocean desert where he sees men as distant ships passing. I not only feel alone, but very far away from you all."

"Darling, i wish someone would realize im not happy. im alone and in pain because of you leaving me and never coming home. im nothng compared to you but i feel like im everything better than you. im sick of you and your judgement and you knowing exactly nothing about me at all. so tell me why should i i get know who you really are when your the person who need to get to know me?"

"It is good to stay in a peaceful poverty than to stay in a painful wealth."

"Just jump, make that call, take the next step and say NO, I'm done, that's it! As long as you entertain fearful thoughts, you’ll continue to feel the pain. So, just take some kind of action now. Even if you feel that fear while you’re taking action, have faith and just keep going. I guarantee you’ll break through the fear and you’ll realize how easy it was…."

"You bothered yourself and changed the season. I was left behind with your awful sounds."

"I believe that. All divorce does is divert you, taking you away from everything you thought you knew and everything you thought u wanted and steering you into all kinds of other stuff, like discussions about your mother's girdle and whether she should marry someone else."

"We can heal our superficial wounds, but how do we kill the pain inside? How can we heal something which no one except us can feel? There is no doctor, no medicine, and no remedy for something like that. People die from sadness almost every day. How can someone be saved from drowning in a whirlpool of their own thoughts?"

"You wanted to see the world. And yet, all I want is to see you."

"Empathy comes from the Greek empatheia - em (into) and pathos (feeling) - a penetration, a kind of travel. It suggests you enter another person's pain as you'd enter another country, through immigration and customs, border crossing by way of query: What grows where you are? What are the laws? What animals graze there?"

"I am enduring temporary sufferings to fulfill my dearest dreams."

"You never know the hurt others endure in this world behind the closed windows of their life, or the joy a simple act of kindness can bring."

"Kindness was too painful. It had been a long time since he had had to endure it."

"Don't always use PAIN that you receive as an excuse to GIVE PAIN..."

"The pain on the inside is what keeps you human,' she said. 'Never forget that."

"Just because she isn't human, do you think that means she doesn't feel pain?"

"The lower a human being descends, the more asleep and inhumane he becomes. Those beings that lack Compassion, Love, and Peace are the true targets of the ego system..."

"Those who really can receive bread from a stranger and smile in gratitude, can feed many without even realizing it. Those who can sit in silence with their fellow man not knowing what to say but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life in a dying heart. Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief, and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart, can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken."
