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

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities. – Sophocles

If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim. – Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
