"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else."
this has never made more sense till now.
it occurred to me that some people, not knowing how to deal with an onslaught of horrible things dumped on them, develop a failsafe in their head called masochism. a syndrome?
what do you do when you can't take any more beatings? when it just doesn't seem to get much worse? learn to love it.
i think there are healthy(ish) ways to go about it. if you don't have a choice in the matter, for example. i say don't go out finding more suffering than you can get away with. but in the interest of becoming stronger through what doesn't kill you...
i'll practise taking it on the chin. who knows if it will do any good. but i'd always rather take the option that reminds me of Fight Club.
