Don Richard Riso Quotes
The Process Of Transforming The Heart Can Be Difficult Because As We Open It, We Inevitably Encounter Our Own Pain And Become More Aware Of The Pain Of Others. In Fact, Much Of Our Personality Is Designed To Keep Us From Experiencing This Suffering. We Close Down The Sensitivity Of Our Hearts So That We Can Block Our Pain And Get On With Things, But We Are Never Entirely Successful In Avoiding It. Often, We Are Aware Of Our Suffering Just Enough To Make Ourselves And Everyone Around Us Miserable. Carl Jung's Famous Dictum That "neurosis Is A Substitute For Legitimate Suffering" Points To This Truth. But If We Are Not Willing To Experience Our Own Hurt And Grief, It Can Never Be Healed. Shutting Out Our Real Pain Also Renders Us Unable To Feel Joy, Compassion, Love, Or Any Of The Other Capacities Of The Heart.
