There is a difference between suffering and pain.
There is a difference between happiness and pleasure.
Pleasure can be a source of suffering.
And pain can be a source of liberation.
If you are an athlete, you will be in pain sometimes.
But you don’t experience that as suffering.
You may even experience that as joy (marathoner’s high).
You might think pleasure is a source of happiness.
But pleasure can be a source of suffering too.
It can be an addictive association – a trigger for suffering.
Suffering and happiness are not external and objective.
They are internal and subjective.
And the subject is the Mind.
Wisdom is –
Equanimity.
