Suffering or sadness is not wrong or right. It just is. If you want to have any chance at going with the flow of life (and enjoying the process), it’s imperative to remind yourself that nothing is permanent, that suffering is okay. I’m not talking about mass suffering, such as children dying of hunger. That can never be okay. The strong should protect the weak. I’m referring to individual suffering. The type that makes us feel that life is worthless.
