Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it. РPata̱jali

Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes. – Aesop

Adversity introduces a man to himself. – Author Unknown

There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering. – Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
