Thích Nhất Hạnh: The Message

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
