EXPRESSION
Expression in every intense moment of human existence, be it a word, a broken word, or a silence, needs at least a thousand philosophical footnotes for explanation.
~Dosti Regmi
"Things are simply the way they are. They don't give us suffering. Like a thorn: Does a sharp thorn give us suffering? No. It's simply a thorn. It doesn't cause suffering to anybody. If we step on it, we suffer immediately. Why do we suffer? Because we stepped on it. So the suffering comes from us."
