“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”— Tender Is The Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald, quoted by Riazm.
except evolve around it & beyond it, compress coal exactly so & you’ve got diamonds; compress dark energy & matter just so and you’ve got a universe and people to think about it. voilà.
perhaps all life is suffering because all life is love.
