Pain as the Unavoidable Truth

None of us escape pain. For some, it comes as a sudden, ferocious disaster, leaving nothing untouched. For others, it creeps in—a betrayal here, a loss there—until its weight becomes undeniable.

Pain is not something we can avoid, and trying to resist it only tightens its grip. Instead of turning away, we must face it, allowing it to carve new spaces within us for understanding, strength, and compassion.
