The belief that life is just crumbs and dredges thrown at you—that’s your undoing. You are content with too little.
To avoid facing pain, you have become numb and insensitive towards yourself. Deeper sensitivity results in deeper pain. To avoid facing pain we become insensitive, and when you are insensitive, you will not know that something is wrong with you.
You need to be ready to take on pain. You need to be ready to not let pain become deep suffering. Otherwise, everything will appear alright because you are anesthetized. Your legs, both of them, might have just been freshly amputated, but you will feel everything is alright—why? There is no sensation.
That’s how we go through life—anesthetized. How does that sound?
