The Suffering We Create

“I’ve lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” ~ Mark Twain

Most of our torment comes from our own thoughts. We imagine more terrible things than ever actually occur. We say more terrible things to ourselves than others say to us.

We create problems where none exist and live in them as though they’re real. But when we quiet the noise, reality sharpens and peace is more easily found.
