“The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late,
is that the more you try to avoid suffering
the more you suffer
because smaller and more insignificant things
begin to torture you
in proportion to your fear of being hurt.”
–Thomas Merton
Ok, so Thomas Merton is wonderful, and sometimes he makes my brain explode. I am so glad you put this on here, I needed the reminder.
