We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is we only become more fearful, more hardened, more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separated from the whole. This separation becomes a prison for us, a prison that restricts us to our personal (versus transpersonal – Pluto) hopes fears and to only caring for the people nearest to us. Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet when we don’t close off and let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all living beings.

Sometimes, because the pains are, too unbearable, we do everything to, escape from them, not realizing, that, by not dealing with these pains, we won’t, mature, into the people, we have the, potential to, become.
