Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 08/13/10 at 07:53 PM Pain or pleasure, both are merely defined by perception. Perception is acute when it comes to detecting suffering. And suffering of every kind is always a matter of what we have lost. When we are young, we think that suffering is something that is done to us. When we get older, when the steel doors slam shut so-to-speak, in one way or other, we know that real suffering is measured by what is taken away from us. Ponderous. Thanks. |
