The burden of happiness can only be relieved by the balm of suffering.

Gregory David Roberts

I think that it is a part of growing up, learning to control our suffering. I think that when we grow up, and learn that happiness is rare, and passes quickly, we become disillusioned and hurt. And how much we suffer is a mark of how much we have been hurt by this realisation. Suffering, you see, is a kind of anger. We rage against the unfairness, the injustice of our sad and sorry lot.

Gregory David Roberts

The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering.
