Although the world actually is magically providing, that does not mean there is no pain. Pain is not a sign of things gone wrong. Our lives are actually a constant succession of pleasure and pain, getting what we want, then losing it.

This is what the world is naturally providing, and still we can be happy. — Sharon Salzberg

Ours is to release the wise sage in all the walking dead. [18] — Unathi Magubeni
