Suffer - an immeasurable treasure

Suffer carries a handful of new creative possibilities.

Your woundedness, your beauty, the loss of the closest and dearest being—these are not impossibilities to continue living, but rather they are just a deepening of the space in which you will find even more buried talents and treasures. An artist, do not respond to your opponent with words, but with deeds. If they throw a stone at you, make something out of it.

There is an unnamed, heavy, too-deep suffering that pulls you into silence. And in that silence, another world emerges—a world that overcomes your suffering and your pain. These are spaces in which a person no longer feels suffering. It is an anesthesia that comes from the other side of the world. It is a surpassing and transcending of our horizons, from which wisdom can speak—wisdom that this world does not know.

In suffering, it is actually most important to know how to wait, because suffering is of short duration. Happiness is eternal, evil is short-lived, and goodness is limitless.

One must know how to wait.

Then either circumstances will change, or your heart will. Wait, and you will surely see it through.

From every negative situation, create something great and positive. That is the art of living.

From every sorrow, create something good for someone. From every suffering, make a home and a future. And from everything you have lost, gain threefold.

That is the secret you must learn.

Let God guide you through the school of life.
