"A spiritual path opens you to the 10,000 joys and to the 10,000 sorrows.
It cracks the heart open to weep at the loss of species. It allows you
to honorably feel the tears that you carry from your own personal trauma
or from the death and loss or tragedy around you personally and more
broadly. But we can also become loyal to our suffering. And suffering,
while it’s vast and can be tended with great compassion, is not the end
of the story. The end of the story is love and freedom. And this is
possible for you. We don’t do it by ignoring the suffering around us,
but by knowing that who we are and what this life is, is greater than
that."~Jack Kornfield
