كثيراً ما أسمع هجاء مريراً يصب على رأس الدنيا ، ولكنى أعتقد أن الإنسان هو الخالق الأول لهذه الآلام التى يتملص من تبعتها ويُلقيها على عاتق الدنيا ...

Son únicamente tus pensamientos los que te causan dolor. 2 Nada externo a tu mente puede herirte o hacerte daño en modo alguno. 3 No hay causa más allá de ti mismo que pueda abatirse sobre ti y oprimirte. 4 Nadie, excepto tú mismo, puede afectarte. 5 No hay nada en el mundo capaz de hacerte enfermar, de entristecerte o de debilitarte. 6 Eres tú el que tiene el poder de dominar todas las cosas que ves reconociendo simplemente lo que eres.

الألم طريق انفرادي .

Other people’s actions are the result of their own pain and not the result of any intention to hurt you.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is a painful thing
To look at your own trouble and know
That you yourself and no one else has made it

إن ألمنا الشخصي ليس بأثقل من الألم الذي نعانيه مع الآخر ومن أجل الآخر وفي مكان آخر؛ ألم يضاعفه الخيال وترجّعه مئات الأصداء.

We are the cause of our own sufferings.

When you see the suffering inside yourself, you can see the suffering in the other person, and you can see your part, your responsibility, in creating the suffering in yourself and in the other person.

I would like to be able to say that she broke my heart but I know better. I broke my own heart. I can't say that she did it and get behind that statement in any real way. I know too much. The only one I can blame for my loneliness is myself. Even if I did think that she did it to me I wouldn't feel any better. Tonight I was watching a movie and this actor in the film looked like her when she had a profile shot. She did not break my heart I did. I don't know why I would do something this painful to myself. I wish I would stop it's been months now and I'm still hurting myself nightly. I can avoid it for awhile and then it comes back.

When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles. An uninstructed person will lay the fault of his own bad condition upon others. Someone just starting instruction will lay the fault on himself. Some who is perfectly instructed will place blame neither on others nor on himself.

I felt his pain as an extra pressure on myself. I mentally added his pain to mine, made it part of my own.

You become aware of the damage that you do to your own body when you feel and act without compassion.

Una de las mayores fuentes de sufrimiento es traicionarse a uno mismo: sentir o pensar de un modo y actuar de otro, sabiendo perfectamente que estás yendo en contra de ti mismo.
