4. Recognize the difference between pain and suffering. In Eastern philosophy, pain and suffering are two very different things. Pain is the inevitable hardships of life, and suffering is the avoidable negative narrative you add on top of that. Losing your job is pain – telling yourself that this means you’re a failure is suffering. Ending a relationship is pain – interpreting this to mean that you’ll never meet anyone again is suffering. You can’t eliminate pain, but you can end suffering. -Buddha
